Every day, people face risks on the road that could have been prevented. In Nepal, research highlights that most crashes happen because of specific, preventable factors like reckless driving, drinking before driving, and using mobile phones while behind the wheel. These behaviors, combined with poor road design, create a dangerous environment for everyone.
To make roads safer, experts suggest a mix of solutions. This includes stricter enforcement of traffic laws, better infrastructure like traffic lights and crossings, and public education programs. The goal is to move toward an integrated strategy where policy, engineering, and education work together to protect people.
Because this was a narrative review, the findings focus on broad themes rather than specific statistics for one single road or city. While it doesn't provide exact numbers for every intervention, it clearly shows that combining law enforcement with better roads and public awareness is the most effective way to cut down on accidents.
