Tyre tread and pressure are key to road safety. Check your tread depth and tyre pressure regularly for better grip and control. Stay safe! #TyreSafety #RoadSafety

A third (31%) of drivers think pedestrians face even greater danger at junctions after changes to the Highway Code made two years ago were meant to improve safety, according to the RAC. One of the most notable changes that was introduced advises drivers turning into or out of a junction to give way to pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders who are either crossing or are waiting to cross the road. This rule was part of a new hierarchy of road users designed to improve the safety of the most vulnerable.

This is a great (and quick) read about why we needed to invent the automobile and mass transit. I had read previously that sidewalks were invented to keep pedestrians safe from horse manure, but I had no idea that the issue was epidemic. #safe #sidewalks #roadwaysafety FHWA National Highway Institute https://lnkd.in/gCVaJiZx.

https://lnkd.in/dQMpS78Q Nigeria's roads offer a unique driving experience – a vibrant mix of smooth highways, bustling city streets, and everything in between. To navigate these diverse conditions safely, selecting the right tires is crucial. This guide equips you to choose your champion! Know Your Tire Champions: All-Season Aces: These balanced performers offer a comfortable ride, good fuel efficiency, and decent grip for everyday commutes and highway cruising. All-Terrain Conquerors: Craving adventure? All-terrain tires with deeper treads and reinforced sidewalls tackle loose surfaces, light off-roading, and protect against punctures. Mud-Terrain Masters: For the ultimate off-road warriors, mud-terrain tires boast the most aggressive tread patterns for conquering mud, rocks, and challenging terrain. Considering Performance & Convenience: Performance Seekers: Prioritize grip and handling with performance tires – ideal for spirited driving and high-performance vehicles, but with trade-offs in wear and wet/cold weather performance. Run-Flat Safety: Enjoy peace of mind with run-flat tires that allow you to drive a limited distance after a puncture. They eliminate the need for a spare tire but remember, repairs are still necessary. Choose Your Champion The ideal tire depends on your driving habits and terrain. This guide equips you with the knowledge to make an informed decision. Remember, safety is paramount. Regularly check tire pressure, and tread depth, and perform alignments and rotations for optimal performance and longevity.

Interesting private road zebra crossing in Cremorne (NOT a City of Yarra initiative). A 3x crossing length to slow vehicles prior to the central crossing point. It’s pleasing to see good initiatives being implemented- just needs council to catch up to provide a safe road network for pedestrians and cyclists in Cremorne.
