Safety on the road
March 29, 2009 by Ülo Kaart
Road safety aims to reduce the harm (deaths, injuries, and property damage) resulting
from crashes of road vehicles. Harm from road traffic crashes is greater than that from
all other transportation modes (air, sea, space, off-terrain, etc.) combined. Million
people are killed on the world's roads each year. Unfortunately it includes school
children as well. Is it really that hard to ensure safety in school areas? Why youngsters
have to suffer because of lausy drivers?
School children have been in great danger since there have been cars but it has grown
throught time because of the big number of drivers. The more there are people, the
more there are drivers, the more are cars and the biggers is the possibility of accidents.
Road traffic crashes are one of the world's largest public health and injury prevention
problems. The problem is all the more acute because the victims are overwhelmingly
healthy prior to their crashes
