Road safety is an issue that affects everyone in India. We all need to use the roads to get around – to school, to work, to the doctor, to the shops, to the cinema. Most of us use the roads every day, as drivers, passengers, cyclists and pedestrians, and for many people driving is the main part of their job. It is essential therefore, to ensure that, as far as possible, we can all use the roads in safety.

It is disheartening and alarming to know a nation like India, that puts so much of value on life, is de-facto a leader in road accidents. The attitude of CHALTI KA NAAM GADI (We call it a car if it merely moves) lets us accept a pothole riddled streets as a road, We as a progressive nation sign lot of treaties and take adequate proactive steps in being a part of the international community and a good global citizen and still those that have to implement signanges in Indian streets have but a little idea of the proper use of signboards on streets and its tragic implications to the people on road. An act of commission or omission both unacceptable in the face of the fact that we have far too many road fatalities.

‘Safe Road Foundation is dedicated towards smooth and safe journey with the ultimate vision of a future where no-one is killed on roads, and the injury rate is practically reduced.’ We believe that no death on the roads should ever be acceptable. Use of the roads whether it be by walking, cycling, riding or driving should not carry the injury and death risk.

We do not underestimate the difficulty of the task, especially in big cities with heavy traffic. But with the help of common man and authorities and concerned persons should achieve this as we are committed to doing just that.
