ROAD SAFETY WORKS IN DOHA QATAR

Road Safety Works Description: With over 1.3 million people dying on highways and in vehicles all over the world, the issue of road safety is a crucial one.Accidents and other road safety mishaps are a major cause of death among all age groups, and the leading cause of death for children and young adults aged 5–29 years. In Doha, the numbers are even more jarring.A 2018 report state that the total number of road accidents in Qatar during the year was about 8,694, up from 6,061 in the previous year, of which fatalities continue to hover around the 150 to 200 mark.Luckily, ensuring proper road safety isn't a mammoth task. In fact, a number of simple changes is all it takes to make a difference between life and death.

A higher proportion of vulnerable road users die in low-income countries than in high-income countries.Control your speed: As average speed increases, so too does the risk of having a road traffic crash and the severity of the consequences should a crash occur. For every 1% increase in mean speed, there is a 4% increase in risk of a fatal crash.
