National Highways Authority of India’s Post

The 24x7 National #HighwayHelpline Number 1033 is a vital support system for National Highway users, providing assistance in both emergency and non-emergency situations. Here's how our #HighwayHeroes assisted a National Highway user. #NHAI #BuildingANation

The current state of our roads is causing significant distress to our citizens, and the prolonged inactivity only exacerbates their suffering. It is imperative that the BMC act swiftly to address this issue. I strongly urge the BMC to release smaller tenders, allowing for prompt attention to critical roads, particularly before the monsoon season. This immediate action is crucial not only for road safety but also to alleviate the hardships faced by our community. The urgency of this situation cannot be overstated.

Fire safety in HDB flats is important, it can help prevent deaths. Residents should keep flammable materials away from stoves, and practice safe cooking habits. Regular maintenance of electrical appliances and swift response to potential hazards are also crucial. Vigilance and preparedness can prevent devastating consequences in high-rise living environments. https://lnkd.in/eVb263Mk

Africa is the most affected by road crashes, with a traffic fatality rate of 19.5 deaths per 100,000 people compared to 16 deaths per 100,000 in Southeast Asia, and 6.5 deaths per 100,000 in Europe, according to the WHO Global Status Report on Road Safety 2023. #tofiirakukkubo #youthcampaign

Interesting: obviously, at a micro scale, emergency services are slowed down by traffic-calming. BUT https://lnkd.in/gS29raMZ but in the real world there's loads of things that impede emergency services, including general traffic (which is reduced by traffic-calming). In context, what proportion of trip delay is caused by traffic calming? Has anyone looked into this in NZ? I recall this study of London's Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (which include full modal filters blocking some streets to motor vehicles) showing no statistically significant effect - including, in one case, where the LTN's traffic calming did slow down emergency vehicles relative to non-LTN streets but the LTN-caused reduction in *general traffic* sped up the emergency vehicles so much it nullified the delay! https://lnkd.in/gMn7WmFX

Emergency services in Queensland have been revamped in a bid to improve response times. The government has pledged $578 million over five years and an increase of almost 500 full time emergency services staff through the reforms. https://hubs.li/Q02yz4hf0 #emergencymanagement #disastermanagement #demc #em #crisis #disasterrecovery #emergencyplanning #incidentmanagement #preparedness #firstresponse #firstresponders

A tragic road accident in northern Afghanistan's Samangan province on Tuesday resulted in seven fatalities, including two women and a child, with two others critically injured. The head of the Civil Hospital, Sayed Usman Hamidi, reported the incident on Wednesday. The high toll is attributed to reckless driving on crowded roads and a lack of security measures during travel in Afghanistan. Over the past 10 months, official data reveals that more than 1,600 people lost their lives, and over 4,000 sustained injuries in road accidents across the country. #AfghanistanAccident #RoadSafety #TragicLoss #TrafficIncident #SafetyMeasures #AccidentPrevention #RoadSafetyAwareness #Condolences #TravelSafety #AfghanistanTraffic #DriveSafe #CommunitySafety #sparkpakistan
