Everyday dozens of lives are lost in our roads as a result of careless driving, over speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or even using mobile phones while driving or crossing the road by pedestrians. All these causes of fatal accidents on our roads could be prevented through embracing or adhering to road safety measures. Road safety focuses on safety for all road users be it pedestrians, animal-drawn vehicles, two-wheel travellers and multi-wheel transport. Road safety is beneficial in many ways as it reduces the number of lives claimed by fatal accidents, reduces the costs arising from accidents and also third party traumas.

By observing road safety measures by every road user, drivers and road users can save millions of lives that could be lost through fatal road accidents. According to National Safety Council (2017), approximately forty thousand lives were lost in American roads in the year 2016 representing a 6% increase from the previous year. Forty thousand is a significant number of lives to be lost due to road accidents that could be prevented through adherence to road safety. Most of the road accidents accounting for the forty thousand lives lost were as a result of drivers speeding and texting while driving. This is a clear indication that the drivers do not observe road safety measures and if they had, then these lives would have been saved. Also, most of the road accidents involve pedestrians being knocked by speeding vehicles on the highways. Pedestrians are to blame for such accidents as they do not observe safety rules that guide them on where to cross the roads or the lanes to uses while walking by the road. When road safety measures are followed carefully, most lives would be saved.
