“........the good Samaritan reversed the question: ‘ IF I DON'T STOP TO HELP THIS MAN WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOHIM?"

ROAD SAFETY BELIEF AND VALUES
- 01 CROSSROADS SAMARITAN COUNCIL (CSC) believes in the resolution A/RES/74/299 adopted by the United Nation General Assembly "Improving global road safety”, and proclamation “Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030", with the ambitious target of preventing at least 50 per cent of road traffic death and injuries by 2030.
- 02 CROSSROADS SAMARITAN COUNCIL (CSC) believes that building awareness, particularly among the youth, and their participation in all phases and levels of road safety is a must to reduce road accidents. Every year in India about five lakh road accidents take place and about one lakh fifty thousand people die. Out of which 48 percent of the road traffic accident victims are young people aged 18-36. Road safety is also an integral part of social justice because ninety percent of the road fatalities occur in developing countries and poor people using the roads are more vulnerable to road accidents.
