Road Traffic Injury Prevention

Road Traffic Injury Prevention involves strategies to reduce accidents and the severity of injuries caused by vehicles. It includes enforcing traffic laws, encouraging safe driving behaviors, improving infrastructure like signage and lighting, and promoting the use of safety measures such as seat belts, helmets, and child restraints. Education campaigns raise awareness about risks and responsible behaviors, while technological advancements like automatic brakes and cameras help prevent collisions. The goal is to create safer roads for all users—drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians—thereby saving lives and reducing injuries.
