India Promotes Road Safety in 2026

National Road Safety Week 2026 is a special week from January 11 to 17.

It is organized by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in India.

The goal is to make roads safer by teaching people to drive carefully and follow traffic rules.

During this week, people are reminded to stay alert while driving, avoid distractions, and not drive when they are upset or have had alcohol.

It's also important to take breaks during long drives, adjust to weather conditions, plan routes ahead, and always wear seatbelts.

Being patient and courteous on the road helps prevent accidents and keeps everyone safe.

In Telangana, the 'Arrive Alive' campaign will run from January 11 to 24, excluding festival holidays.

This campaign aims to reduce road accidents and fatalities through active public participation, instilling a strong sense of road safety, promoting behavioural change, and institutionalising defensive driving culture.

The campaign will target dangerous practices such as riding without helmets, non-use of seat belts, mobile phone use while driving, drunk driving, and more.

The campaign will involve students, youth, celebrities, voluntary organisations, corporates, the media, public representatives, government departments, and the judiciary.
