Participants displayed posters on accident causes and preventive measures, urging pedestrians, drivers, and students to obey traffic rules and use designated road crossings.

Md Mizanur Rahman pointed out that speeding, reckless driving, traffic violations, driver negligence, unfit vehicles, and faulty roads remain the primary causes of accidents, alongside pedestrian carelessness. He urged drivers to avoid mobile phone use while driving and called on authorities for strict legal enforcement.

Saimun Rahman Elite said, "A single reckless decision on the road can snatch away a life. Control your speed, wear helmets, and obey traffic signals. Reaching home safely, not quickly, should be our priority."

Member Secretary Md Tarikul Islam Munna and participating students urged everyone to act responsibly from their respective positions to curb road fatalities.
