Simpe road safety suggestions
1. Simple Road Safety Suggestions
Five numbers of simple, zero cost and easily implementable road
safety suggestions are listed below. The suggestions are capable
of saving thousands of lives, every year.
should cycles.
1. Black color should not be used for cycles.
Black colored cycles are more likely to be involved in accidents, especially when
used under low light conditions or when used by immature children. Drunkard,
careless, safety unaware cyclists who enter the main road suddenly can cause
accidents.
Some of these accidents could be averted, if the color of the cycle were yellow or
other easily visible shade. Default color for cycles should be changed to
yellow. Public should be educated about this point.
Cycle manufacturers should be asked to stop producing black and dark cycles.
There is nothing to lose for the cycle manufacturers. Yellow or other bright colored
cycles can be produced instead.
2. 2. TV Commercials involving dangerous driving should be banned.
Advertisements by automobile companies involving scenes of dangerous and risky
riding or driving should be banned. Youngsters are likely to imitate the same. Small
kids watching such advertisements may decide “I will also do like this when I grow
up” and they will do this for sure when they grow up.
Statutory warnings will not help. It may be noted that small kids cannot read such
warning and none of the parents are likely to explain the statutory warning to the
children.
Such advertisements will result in irreparable character formation regarding riding
and driving in kids and young children. Such children may cause accidents in
future. Following link is an excellent example of such advertisements.

3. 3. Black cars and black two wheelers also should be discouraged.
Black vehicles are more likely to be involved in accidents because
of its low visibility. According to the study by Monash University
Accident Research Centre of Melbourne, white cars are most
visible and least likely to be involved in an accident.
Also, black vehicles consume more fuel, to maintain the air
conditioner cooling, as black color absorbs more heat from
atmosphere.
Hence black vehicles, especially cars and motor cycles should be
discouraged by educating people about the higher crash risk and
higher fuel consumption.
If future production of black vehicle can be banned, it will be ideal.
vehicle ideal.
4. containers.
4. Use bright color for containers.
The color of most of the Containers is very dull. Hence container
carriers are likely to cause crash when parked near road side,
especially under low light conditions. This point has more
relevance in under developed / developing nations where law
enforcement, parking and lighting conditions are poor compared
to developed nations. Yellow or bright color should be promoted
for containers, internationally.
Government of India should take initiative to reach a consensus on
this among container manufacturers of the world.
5. children.
5. Use bright colored uniform for school children.
This point is also more relevant in under developed nations. Bright
colored dresses should be promoted for children. Dark and dull
colors should not be the prominent shade of school uniforms.
All schools should be asked to change to bright colored uniform as
early as possible. This should be implemented slowly with a notice
of one or two years, without causing any financial burden for the
parents. Public also should be educated not to use dark shades
for dresses.
In India, more than 10 crore school children are walking on the
busy footpath-less roads with two way traffic and crossing the
footpath-
busy roads, everyday mostly without the attention of parents.
