Traffic safety is in danger .. and the laws are required

In the first reasons for free death on the roads, what is related to “decision and knowledge”, says Kamel Ibrahim, director of the “Traffic Safety Academy”. The decision means the decision of the authority to make the issue of safety in the priorities by setting a national strategy based on purposeful and scientific plans that prevent this death and attach knowledge. They are two elements that are absent in the Lebanese case with departments “in which priorities are related to the situation of the country.”
Since the issuance of the Traffic Law No. 243 in 2015, its implementation has been limited to “gifts” by the security forces related to a part of its items, specifically those related to the fines of traffic, and the talk often ends with the end of the “Al -Hamroujah”. Even the application, it can be said that it is superficial, as its goal is limited to editing the records of seizure of drivers’ abuses from a car park in a wrong place or entering a opposite road for walking, and others. A catalyst for not committing the violation. This is a part whose responsibility has the responsibility of the House of Representatives, according to Ibrahim, in terms of working to amend the value, making it a deterrent law. The second problem is related to the “National Traffic Safety Council” stipulated in the law. Despite the appointment of a secret trust for this council, which is headed by the Prime Minister, but from the moment of launch a broken. The importance of this council is that it is the primary responsible for setting public traffic safety policies.
What is this death also promoted today, so the wrong ministries of traffic safety. In this context, it is assumed that work on implementing the minimum safety on the roads is assumed that each ministry is concerned, which are primarily the ministries of public works, transportation, interior and municipalities, guarantor procedures according to their jurisdiction, but, since the priorities are not for traffic safety, “according to Ibrahim, in addition to the wrong understanding, the Ministry of Works, for example, limits that task with the enforcement of the roads and” patching “drilling in them or in them Relating roads, while the most comprehensive concept is to make the methods “tolerant” engineering and when planning. The same applies to the Ministry of Interior, which is satisfied with awareness campaigns and editing the records of control in periods closer to the occasion than to continuity, while the mechanical inspection depends for nearly four years, which caused more lives. The fiery, while 40% of the infantry. According to Ibrahim, any accident on the motorcycle is a “deadly accident.” Today, death will also come with the “tuk tuk”, which has been invading the streets without control, and since the traffic safety parties were due to its failure to funding, but what these parties miss that “funding without a targeted plan does not solve the crisis.” What is required before money is clearly diagnosing the problem “by analyzing the causes of the accident to determine the quality of the treatment.” What is required, for example, from the Ministry of Works is not the sufficiency of the assignment, but rather the maintenance of roads and the development of purposeful plans to secure the safety of people, which requires “checking the elements of traffic safety.” This is what happens in most countries of the world, as the simplest thing that accompanies the issue of traffic safety is what is called the guiding evidence that the authority places and imposes its application on ministries and municipalities as well as those concerned with the issue of safety, including contractors, consultants and others. Safety is not money, but by plans targeted on the ground, it is decided by Abraham. How is that? It is completely applying the law and not improvisation, while keeping pace with changes on the ground and scrutinizing public safety standards.
