Talkathon on Road Safety

As part of the advocacy campaign for road safety, Road Safety Week is being observed from 11th to 16th January 2016. The theme for this year's Road Safety week is "Road Safety- Time for Action". In order to contribute to the cause by promoting the concept, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is organizing “Talkathon” with Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways and Shipping, Shri Nitin Gadkari wherein the Minister will directly interact with twitterati by answering the questions posted with #AskonRoadSafety.

The Talkathon programme is scheduled to be held on 11th January, 2016 from 6 PM onwards. The event will be live streamed on the Youtube channel of I&B Ministry- youtube.com/inbministry (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKvOlN6UmTU). The program would be live from National Media Centre, New Delhi.

Over one lakh persons lose their lives every year in our country in road accidents, causing loss of human lives and property and trauma to the family of the deceased. Recognizing the severe impact of road accidents on global health, the UN General Assembly has adopted 2011-2020 as the Decade of Action for Road Safety and set a goal for reducing fatalities from road accidents by 50 percent during the period.

देष में स्मार्ट सिटी बनाई जा रही हैं जहांॅं हेलमेट न लगाने वालों को जुर्माना भरना होगा....पर जुर्माने के एवज में यातायात पुलिस उन्हें हेलमेट प्रदान करेगी, ताकि आगे से वे हेलमेट लगाकर निकलें। यातायात नियम तोड़ने वालों को स्वच्छ भारत मिषन अथवा बेटी पढ़ाओ बेटी बचाओ, हरियाली महोत्सव, स्कूल चलो अभियान में सार्थक भागीदारी निभाने का आदेष दिया जाएगा।

3) Planning of pavement (proper size) and zebra crossings should be mandatory for any road works. People walk on roads because of lack of pavements. Separate planning for cycle tracks should be appreciated. 4)Naming of lanes. Most lanes do not have names. naming of roads should be done block wise. So there is no difficulty in finding address. We can keep names but just add number so it is easier to find any address.

1) Many people plug their ears with earphones or checking mobiles while crossing roads. Awareness campaigns need to be spread to stop this practice. 2) Reckless driving is ingrained from the start. 99% of vehicles you see on roads have some sort of scratches/damage. Adopt system where the guilty party insurance company pays the damages to the car of the non offending ones.

Do not take SELFIES while driving a 4-wheeler, riding a 2-wheeler or while crossing roads. It can lead to accidents or even prove fatal. Visit SELFIE TO DIE FOR ORG website and take a pledge to selfie responsibly

I am totally agree with madhu bhutra , zebra crossing is of no importance as all vechiles run continuously withouth letting pass to pedestrian so I think there should be red light strip around boarder of zebra crossing which should be illuminate displaying to pass pedestrian at a regular fix interval for  30 second .This system will let moving cars to stop for 30 second and to pass the pedestrian

The main problem is no one actually follow the road safety and traffic rules completely ,if all will start following the rules heartly then there will be less accident.So at first there should be always tight administration for checking and punishing the rulebreaker.
