Abstract: (3675 Views) |
Roads are crucial to our everyday lives as we use them by driving, riding, walking or travelling as a pedestrian. Worldwide, more than 1.2 million people are killed on roads every year and up to 50 million more are injured; with most casualties from developing countries. In addition to different disabilities, road.accidents cause extensive psychological disorders and grief, and occasionally economic hardship for families. Furthermore, road accidents cost societies precious resources, diverting these from other health as well as development challenges. This is essential for.each country to address all these points in order to save the lives of thousands of human annually and protect their society resources. |
