Road safety awareness event organised at Paryote Pul Doda

MVD lays emphasis on installation of Speed Limit Devices in Commercial Vehicles

DODA, JANUARY 30: The Motor Vehicle Department (MVD) on Tuesday orchestrated a significant road safety awareness event at Paryote Pul, Doda.  

  The Motor Vehicle Department team highlighted the significance of installing speed limit devices (SLD) fitted for safety of commuters. The devices ensure that vehicles run at prescribed speed limits, reducing the likelihood of rash driving and untoward incidents.

Considering the unique challenges of hilly roads, specific safety measures were highlighted during the event. The participants were asked that the factors such as steep inclines, sharp turns, and adverse weather conditions necessitate extra caution while driving in hilly terrain. Emphasis was placed on maintaining safe speed, using headlights during foggy conditions, and adhering to designated lanes to ensure safer travel on hill roads.

In addition to general road safety measures, the event emphasized the advantages of speed limit devices in driving on hilly roads. These devices help regulate vehicle speeds, particularly crucial on winding and steep inclines.
