According to the Road Safety Coalition Bangladesh, the Motor Vehicle Speed Limit Guidelines-2024 will lower the number of road deaths early in order to prevent collisions.
This was the coalition’s reaction during a press conference held on Wednesday at the Press Club’s Jahur Hossain Chowdhury Hall.
The “Motor Vehicle Speed Limit Guidelines-2024” were developed by the Road Transport and Bridge Ministry on May 5, according to Ilias Kanchan, the chairman of Nirapad Sarak Chai (Nischa). This recommendation will be crucial in averting traffic accidents and avoidable early deaths.
The Second Decade of Action for Road Safety and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) state that by 2030, there would be half as many road accidents resulting in deaths and injuries. Adhering to this guideline will help achieve this goal. 
He claimed that driving too quickly and carelessly is one of the primary reasons for traffic accidents in the nation. Many individuals are continually losing their lives as a result of motorcycles’ excessive speed, notably the nation’s young working population.
Based on lessons learned from other nations, the Road Safety Coalition Bangladesh has long demanded government rules for controlling speed limits on Bangladeshi roadways, he continued.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges is much appreciated by the Road Safety Coalition Bangladesh for providing speed limit guidelines for automobiles.
The Road Safety Coalition is adamant that putting these recommendations into practice will lower environmental carbon emissions. Premature road deaths and avoidable collisions will be less common.
Government revenue will rise while medical costs for individuals and the government would decline. It will support long-term, sustainable growth.
It is especially important to stress that putting these rules into practice will protect older people, women, and children, who are among the most vulnerable pedestrians on the road.
