Importance of Road Safety

The mission of road safety is to prevent traffic accidents, which, as the statistics of the world and of any nationCurrently, they are a scourge and one of the main causes of death and disability in the people.

Applying the rules and respecting them, the key to avoiding more traffic deaths

This objective proposed by road safety is plausible to materialize through the application of the rules that regulate roads in a nation, and on the other hand through through the awareness and education of all the actors that intervene in the roads, streets and routes, that is, pedestrians, motorists, cyclists and motorcyclists.

Satisfactorily know the signs and traffic rules, respect them, and the provision of a license to driving, are essential issues to avoid accidents, and education will be the main way to spread them.

It is observed, in this framework, the application of traffic fines, which are disciplinary sanctions that seek to correct or incite the driver of said vehicles or the person responsible for the same to avoid a repetition of said act.

The sanctions can be of an administrative nature, based on different methodologies that can, for example, lead to the suspension of the license. that allows the driving of vehicles, while the most common are the economic punishments that imply the payment of an estimated amount of money.

Know the rules and have the preventive elements

The parents, the school, and in parallel, the academies where driving is taught, among others, must provide all the tools, explain what to do and what not to do while you are a pedestrian or driver vehicle.

They must also provide precise information on the basic and essential elements to guarantee their own security and that of third parties such as: seat belt, helmets, rear-view mirrors, headrests, beacon, fire extinguisher.

Irresponsibility of drivers and pedestrians, corruption and poor condition of routes and roads

We are currently facing several problems that go beyond traffic education, including the irresponsible behavior of drivers who do not respect the maximum or minimum speeds, who drink alcohol and then drive, who use cell phones while they are driving, who run dives on highways and streets where it is absolutely forbidden to do so, to mention the most recurring.

And we cannot ignore the factors that make the control and compliant maintenance of traffic routes, traffic agents who in exchange for a bribe do not apply the law, and the deficient state of many streets and routes due to the lack of repair works, correct signaling and lack of lighting, for example.

A problem that can only be overcome with everyone's commitment

Without the organization and intervention of the state guaranteeing compliance with current regulations, the correct state of routes and streets and the dissemination of awareness campaigns plus the responsibility and moderation of individuals while working in the road context, it will be impossible to avoid accidents and deaths due to traffic.

Both government authorities, passers-by and those who drive a vehicle must commit themselves from the place they occupy to respect the neighbor, road regulations and the agents who are in the streets to apply the traffic law.
