Description

Thousands of lives are lost every year due to reckless driving and poor road conditions in Bangladesh. We demand stricter traffic law enforcement, better road infrastructure, and mandatory training for public transport drivers to ensure safer roads for all.

Petition Content

Bangladesh has one of the highest road accident rates in the world, with thousands of deaths and injuries occurring every year. Reckless driving, poor enforcement of traffic laws, and inadequate road conditions continue to put millions at risk.

🚗 The Problem

  • Many public transport drivers operate without proper licenses or training.
  • Speeding, driving on the wrong side, and ignoring traffic signals are widespread.
  • Poorly maintained roads, missing lane markings, and lack of pedestrian-friendly infrastructure contribute to accidents.

🛑 Why It Matters
Every accident affects families, communities, and the nation’s overall progress. Many of these incidents are preventable with proper enforcement, awareness, and infrastructure improvements.

📢 Our Demands

  • Stronger Law Enforcement – Increase penalties for reckless driving and improve digital monitoring.
  • Driver Training & Regulation – Mandatory certification and stricter licensing requirements for commercial drivers.
  • Better Road Infrastructure – Repair damaged roads, improve signage, and create safer pedestrian walkways.
  • Public Awareness Campaigns – Educate citizens on traffic safety through schools, media, and community programs.
