Answer:

Road safety is a safety measure to reduce the risk of road accidents and road side injury because

of the mistakes of people while driving on the road. We cannot count the daily road side accidents and

death of people because of the driving mistakes and lack of road traffic rules followers. Every person

going on the road has risk of injury or death. Such as pedestrians, motorists, cyclists, passengers, etc.

at significant road accident risks. According to the statistics (World Health Organization, 2008), it is

found that most of the hospitalization cases and leading cause of death are because of the road trauma.
