Abstract :
It has been estimated that one million death and
15 million road side accident occur on the road worldwide.
Globally road side accidents are the 7th leading cause of
death in all age groups. In India we have 1% of the world
vehicle population, but 6% of the world accidents 1
. The
aim of the study is to assess the awareness and practice on
road safety among adults in in selected area of Jalandhar
Cantt, Punjab. A total of 108 samples were selected for the
study and samples were the adults with in the age group of
18-60 years. The major findings of the study were as
follows:
The study analysis showed that majority (69%) of the
samples were males and 60% belonged to the group of 18-
30 years of age. 15% of samples were drivers by
profession, 63.8% had a valid driving license. Majority of
samples, (83.2%) had good awareness on road safety and
94% of samples had good practice on pedestrian road
safety. The study showed that there was a low positive and
significant correlation between awareness and practice
among pedestrians (n=400) as the p value is .001 and
spearman’s rho value is 0.269. And there was a low and
significant correlation between awareness and practice of
drivers the p value is .001 and spearman’s rho value for
0.322.
