"Anyone who has lost a loved one to a motor vehicle crash knows all too well the immense, devastatingly real and truly tragic impact it has on families, friends, neighbors and entire communities. From buckling up, slowing down and driving free of distraction and impairment to demanding safer roads and safer speeds, we all can and must take action to be safe. The lives of our loved ones may depend on it," said Mark Chung, Executive Vice President of Roadway Practice at NSC. #RoadwaySafety #SafetyForAll NSC estimates that 599 lives may be lost in preventable traffic crashes over the #FourthofJuly weekend. The holiday period begins the evening of July 3 and ends just before midnight on July 7. Learn more here and #JustDrive: https://lnkd.in/gwMF62Fp.

To reduce the risk of a car accident, it is important to understand how to navigate broken traffic lights. 🚦Yellow: While slowing down is important, you needn’t stop except to yield to pedestrians and cyclists. 🚦Red flashing: If no one is directing traffic and the traffic light is flashing red, you should treat the intersection as a four-way stop. 🚦Blackout: If no one is directing traffic and the traffic light appears to be blacked out, you should treat the intersection as a four-way stop https://bit.ly/3r3Lg9y #TheFloridaFirm #CarAccident #TrafficLights #TrafficSafety

When you encounter a traffic light that isn't working, it's crucial to treat the intersection as a 4-way stop. This simple step can save lives, including yours! Here’s what you need to do: 🔴 Approach with Caution: • Stop Completely: Come to a full stop at the intersection. • Look in All Directions: Check for oncoming traffic and any vehicles that might not be stopping. • Watch for Turns: Be alert for vehicles in turning lanes that could cross your path. • Check for Pedestrians: Look out for people walking through the intersection. • Scan for Hazards: Downed or low-hanging power lines can be extremely dangerous. ⚠️ Safety First: • Downed Power Lines: If you see any, turn around and do not drive over them. • Entangled in Power Lines: Stay in your vehicle and call 911. Only leave if you're in immediate danger and remember to jump away from your vehicle without touching it and the ground at the same time. ✅ Proceed Safely: • Ensure all traffic has stopped and the way is clear before moving through the intersection. • Keep watching for any vehicles that might not be following the rules. Remember, you might have the right of way, but safety is paramount. Let’s keep our roads safe for everyone! #TrafficSafety #DriveSmart #StayAlert #RoadSafetyTips #HarrisCounty

**Check Your Blind Spots** Check mirrors every 8-10 seconds to be aware of vehicles entering your blind spots. Additionally, scan ahead on the road about 15 seconds (equating to a quarter mile on interstates, or one to two blocks in cities) for traffic issues, work zones, and other dangers. Drive safe!!

How do we lower trauma on our roads? The Centre for Road Safety does some incredible work. You can help by completing their survey here: https://lnkd.in/gJCTAfxT Here are some not-so-fun facts about our roads: - Most fatalities happen on country roads - Most injuries happen in metropolitan areas - Around a third of fatalities & almost two thirds of serious injuries happen where the speed limit was 60km/hr or less - The most common fatal crash types are: running off the road, head-on, & pedestrian crashes - The biggest causes of road deaths are: speeding, drug-driving, drink-driving & fatigue - Injuries are more serious in older cars than in newer cars What can we do? Start with using the "Safe System" approach with safety at the core of design & policy decisions: 1. Safe Roads 2. Safe Vehicles 3. Safe Speeds (especially between pedestrians & vehicles) 4. Safe People (improving road user behaviour) The survey closes 6th of March. #roadsafety #roadsafetyawareness #safesystem #transportadvisory #roaddesign #betterprojectoutcomes #centreforroadsafety #transportfornsw
