Bangladesh Road Safety Movement 2018

National Road Safety Day / Efforts to bring order on the roads will continue

The 2018 Road Safety Movement was not only about making our roads safer but also about fighting against the irregularities and corruption in various sectors and agencies, particularly the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA).

Is this the best the BRTA can do?

New guideline on motorcycle is unlikely to be effective without wider reforms

Safe roads before smart cities

Time to put people’s safety at the heart of policymaking

BRTA must justify the increase in service fees with quality services

Another cost burden on citizens in Bangladesh

Why are our roads still so unsafe? Road safety activists speak

Between July 28 and August 4, 2018, school and college students across the country protested to ensure road safety for all.

Daylong protest over unsafe road

Under pressure from road safety protesters, the authorities yesterday suspended the operation of two bus services, but a section of demonstrators vowed to remain on the streets until all their demands are met.

Lot of actions, little result!

Hold meetings, make decisions and then forget all about them. This has been the practice of successive governments regarding road safety in the past three decades. Since the mid-80s, each government has undertaken numerous initiatives to reduce road crashes, but they are gathering dust at the Road Transport and Bridges Ministry.
