There has been an alarming rise in the number of road accidents in Bangladesh over the last few years. According to the Bangladesh Road Safety Foundation’s (RSF) annual report, at least 6,284 people died, and 7,468 others were injured in road accidents between January and December 2021, compared to 5,431 people dead and 7,379 injured in road collisions. Reckless driving, overspeeding, forced overtaking, breaking traffic laws and a lack of public awareness are the main reasons for road accidents. Awareness on both sides is much needed to reduce the number of accidents and ensure a safe journey. Genesis Foundation is working on this issue under the campaign ” Stay alert, Stay Safe”.
