This annual event aims to raise awareness and promote responsible driving behavior, striving to reduce road accidents and save lives. It emphasizes the importance of responsible driving, pedestrian safety, and the need for improved road infrastructure.

Scheduled during the third week of November annually, Road Safety Week in 2024 falls between November 19th and November 25th. It provides a platform for communities and organizations to engage in activities aimed at enhancing road safety, fostering a safer environment for all road users.

Road Safety Week plays a crucial role in educating communities and advocating for safer road practices. Through active participation, individuals and communities contribute collectively to ongoing efforts, aiming to create safer roads and ultimately reduce accidents and fatalities.
