 Road Safety is important?

Children and young people are at significant risk on our

roads. In 2006, the PSA recorded 6,869 deaths due to
road crashes. Nine years later, in 2015, that number
jumped to 10,012. Since 2010, the number of road crash
deaths never dipped below 8,000. This is 1.79% of the
560,605 total deaths (including non-road crash ones)
recorded by the PSA that year.
 Therefore, is it really important?

According to our data, many have died because of not

observing road safety. Road safety education plays an
important role in shaping the attitudes and behaviours
of children and young people – ensuring they become
responsible drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists.
 Decrease daily road traffic accidents?

To sum it all, road safety is important, whether your

inside or outside your car. Decreasing the amount of
road accidents, also avoids us having heavy traffic.
Following the signs and avoiding the major causes of
road accidents, might tremendously stop road accidents.
Simple things on the road like simple reminders have a
very big effect to us both drivers and pedestrians.
Slogan for Road Safety Awareness

It is best to PREVENT THAN TO CURE.

Also, remember SAFETY FIRST.
