The
challenge of making our roads safer can be met only with the whole hearted
support and commitment of the entire community. So what can we do to help as
citizens?
Be
a model road user- Learn the rules and follow them conscientiously
even when nobody is watching. Don't justify traffic violations by saying that
you are sure that they are 'safe'. Remember, you are inspiring others to violate
law and they may do so under not so safe circumstances.
Educate
others- anybody you can influence, your family, your friends or your
colleagues. The task of teaching the rules or road safety to a society as
diverse and heterogeneous as ours requires the dedicated support of enlightened
citizens. You can use your special gift for art or music or theatre or
technology for carrying the message of road safety to the millions who need to
be educated.
Be
active citizens- Your enthusiasm can force even the most lethargic of
systems to move. Know the traffic problems and road safety issues of your
locality, your office, your child's school and so on. You must follow up on the
construction of that rotary or the installation of that traffic signal that is
needed in your locality. Your enthusiasm shall ensure that no procedural
bottle-necks hold up urgently needed engineering works.
Don't
expect the Government to do it all- The community has immense
resources. It can definitely raise internal funds for minor interventions like
building a wall to close a dangerous illegal entry point or engaging private
manpower to help in the regulation of parking in commercial areas or outside
schools.
Always
help the accident victim - The fear of false implication in the
matter is totally irrational. You must be prepared to undertake the
responsibility of taking the victim to a hospital and waiting for his family to
appear. Remember- it could have been you. (See Link)
Volunteer
as Marshals- If you want to actively participate in traffic
regulation and law enforcement join as a marshal or inform us what you want to
do and how we can help you with it.
