    INTERNATIONAL issue
    Lack of coordination, cooperation, collaboration among safety stakeholders is
    identified as leading barrier for institutional capacity building. Currently there
    is no formal cordination and data sharing among agencies on road safety.

    Unavailability of trained Traffic Operation Engineers and Road Safety Auditors.
    Lack of training and educational opportunities to road safety professional.
    Dependency on high cost international Consultants which limits the opportunities
    for road safety improvements.
    Most critical of the above is lack of Road Safety Champions within highway
    agencies.
    This is the first step in building the institutional capacity for road safety.

    Road users
    issue
    Motorist generally do not
    wear seat belt. There is
    currently no legislation
    mandating it.
    weather and view restriction
    are among the reason for low
    compliance of helmet.

    young motorcyclists, it was
    learnt that warm practices

    Public transportation
    issues

    . Up to 20 years old buses are


    plying on our roadway.

    Shortage of public
    transportation is causing
    overloading of Public vehicles.
    Lack of government run public
    transportation has resulted into
    many small
    transportation companies and
    those are difficult to regulate.

    Road Infrastructure
    Issues
    Road side hazards is big
    issue in Pakistan because
    there is no established Safety
    Design Standards.
    Work Zones are poorly
    designed and MPT devices
    used does not meet the
    international standards.
    There is no pay item for MPT
    in the construction contracts.
    There is no policy on UTurns. The illegal U-Turns
    made by the business owners
    are causing road crashes.

    Vehicle Safety
    Issues
    Illegal fabrication of Bedford
    truck to increase its load
    carrying capacity.
    The overloading of the trucks,
    which are not designed for that
    amount of load, cause severe
    damage to roads resulting in
    rutting of roads and creates
    safety problems.
    This also cause the
    overloaded trucks to move
    very slow on the upgrade
    roads, causing disturbance in
    the traffic flow and sometimes
    result in road crash.
