In order to change the bleak picture of road safety in our country, we aim to identify the steps and areas which are really helping in bringing down the number of road fatalities and concentrate on those. SIAM along with its members would be observing 2019-2020 as National Road Safety Year and will try to bring some best practices which can bring down the fatalities rate on our roads.”
