The Hero Honda Chowk is an Identified ‘Road Accident Black Spot’ by the National Highway Authority of India. TRAX started its Safe Road Design Intervention at the Hero Honda Chowk in Sep’2020 with a Road Audit and identified the Gap Areas related to its Design along with other Factors. To evaluate the IMPACT, we cross-identified the Road Accidents Data with the concerned stakeholders for the year 2019-2021. The record shared by them, clearly showed that there’s been ZERO DEATHS post ‘Safe Road Design Intervention’ (March’2021 till March’22.)
The team TRAX has successfully created the safe design of this intersection under the able guidance of Mr. Anurag Kulshrestha, Founder-President- TRAX. It was his in-depth knowledge and involvement in the project that resulted in a success story.
In last decade 41% of the child deaths were due to Road Crashes (NIMHANS). According to the study, road accidents were the most common cause of child fatalities in India. Considering the alarming issue, we are advocating for Safe School Zone since last five years to increase the safety of Children on roads. Thus far we have converted approx. 15 Schools into Safe School Zone across the country.
TRAX has been instrumental in approaching to the Honourable Supreme Court committee on Road Safety. The Honorable committee has taken up the issue with concerned stakeholders including Society of Indian Automobile, Advertising Council of India, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and Censor Board of India. Government of Uttar Pradesh already banned the exhibition of such TV commercials which include negligent driving, rash driving, stunts, driving without helmet and seat belt. ASCI has banned some of the advertisements on the complaints raised by different NGOs and Individuals. To analyze a user’s behaviour or mental state of the public, we have done a survey involving all user’s categories including age, profession, area and etc. Some of the important findings shown in the graphs. TRAX has submitted few more suggestions to the concerned stakeholder and the dialogue is continued.
To ensure the implementation of the Gazette (3747 dated 26.11.2020), ‘Helmets for riders of Two-wheeler Motor Vehicles (Quality Control order 2020) issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India.
To improve visibility level at intersections/footpaths and Medians , we are advocating for 180 degree visibility for the safety of road users especially at intersections. Poor visibility is a major factor which creates high risk to a road crash among all types of road user. Additionally, along with advocacy, we are doing research on the same, students from IIT, Delhi have done some baseline research on vegetation under the guidance of Mr. Anurag.
TRAX has been working for promoting Safer school zones for the last 3 years in Delhi, Gurugram and Faridabad. Under Project “Road Safety and Juniors” an initiative by Government of Haryana, MG Motor, Government of Haryana & TRAX, have selected four most vulnerable schools which have already been converted into Safe School Zone.
MEDIA is one of the medium to spread the message to the community. We appreciate the way Media is taking Road Safety asa serious concern. On another hand, hence it has become more significant to showcase good practices through advertising content. We have observed and found there are several commercial advertisements are being telecasted on TV screen in which one can easily find several violations of traffic norms.
