Identifying Accident Hotspots
A key part of the road safety plan involves conducting thorough surveys. These surveys will help identify accident hotspots, allowing for a data-driven approach to improving road conditions and signage. Gathering insights from local authorities and community members is also crucial in this process.

Improving road safety is a shared responsibility. The discussions highlighted the need for collaboration among various stakeholders. This includes government officials, community members, and local authorities working together to find effective solutions and promote safer driving habits.
