To promote road safety among masses and to make citizens aware about traffic signs, Janakrosh, a local NGO working in the field of road safety, released a calendar for the year 2025, on the occasion of the new year.
The calendar has details about various road signs which are essential to be known by every road user, including pedestrians and drivers. Normally due to the absence of traffic signs on roads and lack of proper traffic education, people are unaware about the sign boards erected by local bodies. Due to lack of awareness, many road accidents take place on Indian roads. Keeping this in mind, Janakrosh
released the calendar to educate people about this important subject, which can save lives.
