The Singapore Road Safety Council (SRSC) and Traffic Police (TP), with support from the Land Transport Authority (LTA), Ministry of Education, People’s Association and Automobile Association of Singapore, launched the Singapore Road Safety Month (SRSM) 2023 campaign today. The Guest of Honour for the launch of this campaign was Associate Professor Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim, Minister of State, Ministry of Home Affairs & Ministry of National Development.
The theme of this month-long campaign is “Road Safety for All”. This year’s campaign will focus on raising awareness on the dangers of speeding and jaywalking through visuals. It will be publicised via posters and lamp post banners (refer to Annex A) at hotspot locations, as well as through community and social media outreach.
One of the highlights of this year’s campaign is the two-day ‘Road Safety for All’ carnival at Toa Payoh Hub Mall Atrium from 1 – 2 July 2023. This is the first time SRSC has organised a physical carnival since the resumption of public events since the COVID-19 pandemic. The carnival features informative road safety exhibition displays and interactive activities. This year, one of the booth partners, SBS Transit, has organised an activity for members of the public to sit in a physical bus to experience a bus driver’s field of vision and understand their blind spots when driving. This enables road users to more effectively avoid being in the blind spots of bus drivers for their safety. SBS Transit has also highlighted safe commuting habits with its "Flag the Bus Early" campaign for road and commuter safety.
“We hope that the community can join us and help us spread the importance of road safety. Members of the public can continue to play their part in ensuring that everyone can return home safely to their loved ones.” said Mr Bernard Tay, Chairman, SRSC.
Commander Traffic Police, Senior Assistant Commissioner Daniel Tan said, “The top causes of accidents this year are failing to keep a proper lookout, failing to have proper control of one’s vehicle and failing to give way to traffic with the right of way. The Traffic Police would like to urge all road users, to exercise graciousness and adopt good RoadSense to keep our roads safe for everyone.”
We would like to remind the public to stay safe on the roads and join us in our journey towards safer roads for all.
