Answer 1

Explanation:

Road traffic accidents—the leading cause of death by injury and the tenth-leading cause of all deaths globally—now make up a surprisingly significant portion of the worldwide burden of ill-health. An estimated 1.2 million people are killed in road crashes each year, and as many as 50 million are injured, occupying 30 percent to 70 percent of orthopedic beds in developing countries hospitals.1 And if present trends continue, road traffic injuries are predicted to be the third-leading contributor to the global burden of disease and injury by 2020.2

Developing countries bear a large share of the burden, accounting for 85 percent of annual deaths and 90 percent of the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost because of road traffic injury.3 And since road traffic injuries affect mainly males (73 percent of deaths) and those between 15 and 44 years old, this burden is creating enormous economic hardship due to the loss of family breadwinners (see Figure 1).

Road traffic injuries are predictable and preventable, but good data are important to understand the ways in which road safety interventions and technology can be successfully transferred from developed countries where they have proven effective. Awareness of the consequences of road traffic injuries is lagging among policymakers and the general public. What’s needed is incorporation of comprehensive road safety programs into national planning in developing countries.

Beware of Road

Accident.

This is to bring to your kind notice the depressing condition of the roads in our area. To add to it the careless and reckless drivers add to the fury. There are of puddles, and bumbs ups and downs. The manholes opened for drainage are never closed. It is very dangerous for the pedestrians and school students.

Returning from school in the evening, I was shocked down by a speeding motorcycle. Thank Allah I escaped with minor injuries.

Please inform the reckless drivers that road safety signs, and traffic lights are silent conductors of traffic on the road. The drivers as well as the pedestrians should have proper knowledge of traffic rules. Those who are holding a license should be well versed in the rules of the road. There are dangers on the road, the driver should take necessary steps in road to the situation.
