Road traffic safety refers to methods and
measures for reducing the risk of a person using
the road network for being killed or seriously

cyclists, motorists, their passengers, and
passengers of on-road public transport, mainly
buses and trams.

Practicing road safety measures is very good and

should respect others while driving or walking on
the road and take care of their safety. People
safety on the road is one of the most important
aspects in order to avoid road side accidents,
injury, and death.
The first road safety awareness week was observed in 1989 when the country lost
36,000 people in traffic crashes. On 15 March 2010, India's Union Cabinet approved the
National Road Safety Policy based on the Sunder Committee's recommendation in a
report is submitted in February 2007.

The first system of traffic signals was installed
as a way to replace police officer control of

first two decades of the 20th century,
semaphore traffic signals like the one in London
were in use all over the United States with each
state having its own design of the device. In
many cases, it was controlled by a traffic
officer who would blow a whistle before
changing the commands on this signal to help
alert travellers of the change.
