Road safety remains a neglected issue
Time to put people’s safety at the heart of policymaking
The family of a person killed in a road crash due to reckless or negligent driving will get at least Tk 5 lakh in compensation.
Where exactly is the holdback?
The High Court today (July 19, 2022) directed the trustee board formed under the Road Transport Act, 2018, to give Tk 5 lakh – in 15 days – for the baby born during a road accident on Dhaka-Mymensingh highway on July 16.
Continued lack of concern for road safety is unacceptable
Mobile courts of Bangladesh Road Transport Authority files 79 cases under Road Transport Act-2018 and other relevant laws in Dhaka city on the second consecutive day of the operation.
The government is going to enforce the much-anticipated Road Transport Act 2018 from today.
The Road Transport Act-2018 is yet to be brought into effect a month after the president's approval, allegedly due to a movement against the law by transport workers.
The proposed Road Transport Act 2018 will be placed before the parliament today, Road Transport and Bridges Ministry said yesterday.
A draft law approved by the cabinet yesterday proposes a maximum punishment of five years' imprisonment for causing death to a person by reckless driving, drawing strong criticism from road safety campaigners who termed the sentence insufficient to end anarchy on roads.
