🏹 This Dussehra, Let’s Defeat the Evils on Our Roads!🛣️ Dussehra celebrates the victory of good over evil. Let’s bring this spirit to our roads by eliminating the behaviours that put precious lives at risk. 🚦 This Dussehra, let’s pledge to: 🔹 Respect speed limits 🔹 Never drive under the influence of alcohol 🔹 Avoid distracted driving 🔹 Always wear helmets and seat belts 🔹 Give priority to pedestrian safety 🔹 Follow traffic rules and drive responsibly 🔹 Advocate for safer road infrastructure Road safety is not just an individual responsibility—it is a collective commitment involving road users, authorities, and every stakeholder in the transport ecosystem. At the International Road Federation – India Chapter (IRF-IC), we believe that every life matters and every journey should be safe. Through our 5E Road Safety Programme—Engineering of Roads, Engineering of Vehicles & Policy Corrections, Education, Enforcement & Emergency Care—we continue to work towards safer roads and responsible road-user behaviour. This Dussehra, let’s not limit the victory of good over evil to a celebration. Let’s make it a commitment to save lives. Let Good Habits Win on Every Road. Because every life is precious. Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Dussehra! 🪔 #HappyDussehra #RoadSafety #IRFIndiaChapter #SafeRoads #ResponsibleDriving #VisionZero #RoadSafetyForAll

EMERGENCY CARE IS NOT AN OPTION. IT IS A RIGHT. The Supreme Court of India’s recognition of trauma care as an integral part of the Right to Life under Article 21 reinforces a critical message: saving lives after a road crash is as important as preventing the crash itself. At the International Road Federation – India Chapter (IRF-IC), Emergency Care is an integral pillar of our 5E Road Safety Programme, alongside Engineering of Roads, Engineering of Vehicles & Policy Corrections, Education, Enforcement. Every minute matters after a road crash. Timely first aid, trained bystanders, efficient ambulance services, coordinated emergency response and accessible trauma care can make the difference between life and death. The way forward requires collective action: 🔹 Strengthen emergency response systems through effective coordination among emergency services, ambulances and hospitals. 🔹 Build first-responder capacity by training police personnel, drivers and citizens in first aid and trauma response. 🔹 Empower Good Samaritans to help road crash victims without fear or unnecessary legal complications. 🔹 Improve access to trauma care to ensure that every victim receives timely and appropriate medical assistance. 🔹 Translate policy into action through effective implementation, monitoring and accountability. At IRF-IC, our road safety initiatives recognise that the responsibility does not end when a crash occurs. It extends to ensuring that every possible effort is made to save a life. Safer roads save lives. Effective emergency care saves lives that might otherwise be lost. Let us work towards a road safety ecosystem where no life is lost simply because timely help was unavailable. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gE5FPUJx #IRFIC #RoadSafety #EmergencyCare #TraumaCare #SafeSystem #RoadSafetyIndia #GoodSamaritan #RoadSafetyForAll

From a high-speed expressway to a model safe corridor 🚦 IRF-IC & MSRDC Join Hands to Make Samruddhi Mahamarg a Model Safe Corridor! The International Road Federation – India Chapter (IRF-IC) and the (Maharashtra State Road Development Corp (MSRDC) ) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 9 October 2026 at Kohinoor Square, Mumbai (MSRDC Office) to implement an integrated 5E Road Safety Programme across the approximately 701 km Samruddhi Mahamarg, connecting Nagpur and Mumbai. The MoU was signed by Dr. Anil B. Gaikwad, Managing Director, MSRDC, and Mr. K. K. Kapila, Founder President, IRF-IC, in the presence of: •Mr. S. K. Survase, Chief Engineer, MSRDC •Mr. Hemant Jagtap, Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to the Managing Director, MSRDC •Mr. D. O. Taode, Vice President, IRF-IC •Mr. Pawan Kant, CEO, Interise •Ms. Aruna Shankari, COO, IRF-IC From a high-speed expressway to a model safe corridor The initiative adopts the Safe System Approach, recognising that road safety cannot be achieved through engineering interventions alone. It requires coordinated action across five critical pillars: 🔹 Engineering of Roads: Road Safety Audit of the entire 701 km corridor, with prioritised recommendations to address safety deficiencies. 🔹 Engineering of Vehicles & Policy Advocacy: Strategic advocacy and stakeholder engagement to strengthen road safety practices. 🔹 Education & Awareness: Road safety education across approximately 100 schools located along the expressway corridor. 🔹 Enforcement & Traffic Management: Five to seven specialised capacity-building sessions for highway police personnel, focusing on speed management, lane discipline, wrong-side driving and crash prevention. 🔹 Emergency Care: First Aid and Trauma Care training for approximately 500–700 first responders to strengthen assistance during the critical period following a road crash. The bigger vision This partnership goes beyond a conventional road safety audit. It aims to translate findings into actionable interventions, strengthen inter-agency coordination, improve road-user behaviour and enhance emergency response. The ultimate objective is to develop Samruddhi Mahamarg as a Safe Corridor Demonstration Project (SCDP), creating a framework that can inform road safety improvements on other high-speed corridors across India. A world-class expressway is not defined by speed and connectivity alone, but by how safely every road user reaches their destination. Together, let us work towards safer journeys and fewer lives lost on our roads. #IRFIC #MSRDC #SamruddhiMahamarg #RoadSafety #SafeSystemApproach #VisionZero #HighwaySafety #RoadSafetyAudit #EmergencyResponse

🚸 Safer School Zones. Safer Journeys for Every Child. On 7 October 2026, the International Road Federation – India Chapter (IRF-IC) inaugurated the implementation of Safe School Zone interventions across four schools in Delhi, with the valuable CSR support of Hero MotoCorp.
