This presentation deals with being safe on and off road.

2. What is Road Safety?
•Today we live in a world where number of
vehicles are increasing day by day.
•Poverty has enforced people to settle and live
on those places which can never be called safe.
•Increasing Human Population has increased
the number of accidents.
•This all causes a great threat to road safety and
people walking and driving on road.
• There is no guarantee of human life.

3. Road safety is set of rules and
regulations which are made to ensure
proper functioning and proper safety of
vehicles andother dwellers.
Drive Safe Live Safe

4. How to move on Road-
‘Safely………’?
• Since the danger on road is increasing day by
day, it is very essential for all of us to
understand how to keep ourselves safe on road.
• There are various ways in which we can protect
ourselves from the impending dangers on
roads.
• There are certain factors which should always
be kept in mind while doing any activity on or
near road.

5. Several safety measures or rules to be kept in
mind while doing any activity like:-
While Driving a four wheeler (a car) –
Seat Belt Always ensure that while driving a car,
you and your partner has fasten the seat belt
properly. This guarantees that while driving you
do not strike the car’s windshield.
Air Bags This is a device installed in the
steering wheel of car. Whenever car strikes
something, air bag gets inflated automatically
to absorb the impact energy of the accident.

6. Regular maintenance of car (Better to send to
service center) It is recommended to send your
vehicle to service center periodically for a regular
maintenance. This ensures proper working of your
vehicle
Specially Check For-
Brakes- Brakes does a great work in protecting you
from accidents. They helps you to follow the speed
limit*. Failure of brakes can put you in a great
danger. Without proper brakes you may strike with
the person moving ahead you. Therefore, it is
important to keep a regular check of brakes.
Speed limits* are used in most countries to set the maximum (or minimum in some cases)speed at
which road vehicles may legally travel on particular stretches of road. Speed limits may be variable.
Speed limits are normally indicated on a traffic sign. Speed limits are commonly set by the legislative
bodies of nations or provincial governments and enforced by national or regional police and / or
judicial bodies

7. While driving a two wheeler (a motorcycle or a
scooter or a bicycle)
Head Cover Or Helmet–
A helmet is a form of protective gear worn to protect
the head from injuries. Helmets are important to wear
while riding any two wheeler because they protect your
head from directly entering a clash.
Age Limit-
We should always be aware about the age limit
for driving any vehicle.
Currently in India Minimum age limit for
driving a vehicle of engine of 55cc or less is
16yrs. For other vehicles it is 18 yrs

8. Do’s [on Road]
If you are a two wheeler rider-
• Stick to the left lane and leave the right lane to faster traffic.
• Wear a helmet for your safety
• 2 stroke engines are big polluters because of carbon monoxide
emission. Keep your engine tuned.
• Remember you are vulnerable: in any collision you are more in danger
than car or bus.
If you are a four wheeler rider-
• Give way to traffic on your right at junctions. If every one is jostling for
advantage, the results is a traffic mess out of which no one can get out
• Keep your vehicle in good condition. Exhaust fumes cause air
pollution and endanger health
• Show courtesy and consideration to the less fortunate - the
pedestrians, the cyclists and two wheelers

9. Don’ts [On Road]
•Do not use horns unnecessarily; use it only to avert
danger. Noise level goes up, driving becomes tiresome
with hardly any difference to your progress
• Do not over speed or jump traffic lights. The time that
you gain is not worth the risk to life and limb
• Don’t haste. Show courtesy and consideration to the
less fortunate - the pedestrians, the cyclists and two
wheelers.
•Don't push your way forward through any opening in the
traffic at traffic signals.
• Don't view through traffic stick to your lane.
• Never over take on the left.

10. Don’t Drink And Drive

11. Follow Traffic Light
•It is very important to
follow Traffic Light on
road.
•This is not because it is a
law, but because it helps
us understand where to
move at what time.
•Many surveys shows that
traffic lights have reduced
number of accidents

13. Walk On Footpath Only
•As the number of vehicles are
increasing day by day, it is
very dangerous to walk on
road.
•Footpath are small pathways
on the side of road which are
made for walking people.

15. •As the number of vehicles are
increasing, it is very difficult for us
to cross the road.
•Therefore, Zebra Crossings are
made on road to ensure that
people are able to cross the road
safely when it is red light on traffic
light.
•These are white and black strips
arranged alternatively.

17. Never Play On Road
• Today there is always a rush on road.
• So is very-very dangerous to play on
the road.
