ABU DHABI’S ‘FORGIVING’ ROADMAP FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY: Designing ‘human-centric’ infrastructure for roads and traffic management, while boosting safety awareness, is the secret to reducing accidents, experts in Abu Dhabi say. This has already led to halving of crashes and injuries over the decade, and Abu Dhabi’s Joint Traffic Safety Committee is determined to achieve a zero-fatality rate. The key message is that traffic safety is a shared task, bringing together engineers, police, motorists and pedestrians in the common goal for society’s wellbeing. That means each one of us has a role and responsibility, so let’s play our part faithfully. [COMMENT BY: Faisal Masudi, Assistant Editor]
