According to MoRTH, the number of children who lost their lives in road accidents rose from 7,764 in 2021 to 9,528 in 2022. One effective strategy to decrease child fatalities is to establish safe school zones. Thoughtful road design and consistent enforcement of rules around school zones can help reduce injuries to children.
