Children Traffic Park and Road Crash Analysis Cell / Research Branch




Road Safety Education Cell in Children Traffic Park

It is widely recognized today that the internalization of road rules and road discipline by the road users is a crucial prerequisite for ensuring safer roads and a smoother flow of traffic. Inspired by the "Catch them Young" philosophy, the Road Safety Education Cell (RSEC) focuses its major activities on teaching our children, the future drivers, the fundamentals of road safety. The RSEC is headed by a Sub-Inspector and assisted by other officials of Chandigarh Traffic Police. The function of the cell is to educate the general public regarding traffic rules and regulation.

This Cell also suggests factors like road engineering and other corrective measures to prevent the occurrence of road crashes.

The Cell compiles all road crash related data that is to be transmitted to the Transport Research Wing (TRW) of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India for incorporation into the national database. This data is also readily shared with all other government departments that are involved in the prevention of road crashes.
