From the Concluding Session of Road Stakeholder Consultation Programme
at NHA Auditorium, Islamabad on 18^th January 2001

1. Safety audits of road designs must be done before and after execution of all road construction projects.

2. Road safety education should be included in all school syllabi. Special road safety courses for School Teachers should be designed and conducted.

3. Driver training and education requires special attention. A sustained campaign should be launched to improve driving standards. Proper licensing of drivers should be enforced.

4. Enforcement of traffic rules is sadly lacking. Measures must be implemented to ensure complete enforcement of traffic rules.

5. There is an urgent need for suitable amendment in the law, to facilitate immediate medical treatment for all road accident victims, without waiting for an FIR to be filed. Trauma centers should be established in leading hospitals to treat road accident victims. First aid facilities should be provided at regular intervals along all highways.
