Did you know?
Nearly 1 in 3 road traffic deaths in Sri Lanka are pedestrians.

Everyday actions like crossing at unsafe places, using phones while walking, or poor visibility at night can turn deadly in seconds.

The most vulnerable?
Children and the elderly.

But the good news is—many of these tragedies are preventable.

✅ Use pedestrian crossings and footbridges
✅ Obey traffic signals
✅ Stay alert and avoid distractions
✅ Always look both ways before crossing

Road safety starts with YOU.
Let’s take one step at a time towards a safer Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
