Safety Risk Of Motorized Vehicles Through The Lins Of Non -Motorized Vehicls Users

Abstract

Non-motorized transportation (NMT) is a form of transportation that provides effective, affordable, secure, and practical mobility. Promoting NMT usage lessens dependency on driving, which lessens global concerns including pollution and traffic jams. In various South Asian emerging nations, non-motorized vehicles have been crucial in supplying the demand for door-to-door transport services. Bangladesh's rickshaws, vans, and pullers are common non-motorized vehicles. In the absence of so-called mass transportation systems, these modes played a significant part in moving people and commodities in a safe, effective, and affordable manner. More than anywhere else in the world, 70 % of vehicle travels in the Dhaka metropolitan area involve non motorized vehicles. Additionally, the rickshaws made for about 30%of the entire value added by the transportation industry. The total contribution of all motorized road transportation is more than doubled. The Highway Capacity Manual discusses how the presence of bicycles affects the capacity of crossings, the length of the roadway between them, and the capacity of designated cycling facilities. With particular reference to Bangladesh, this paper addresses the safety status of non- motorized vehicles in traffic streams and their role in traffic accidents. The existence of non-motorized vehicles is in danger due to economic development and a rise in non-motorization levels worldwide, despite the fact that they have many uses. Due to Bangladesh's fragile, varied, and complex transportation system as well as the noticeable speed disparities amongst non motorized vehicles, accidents and difficulties linked to road safety are all too often. The non-motorized vehicle Walking, bicycling, and other forms of small-wheeled transportation, such as wheelchair travel, are all examples of non-motorized transportation, sometimes referred to as active transportation and human powered transportation. Drivers of non- motorized vehicles report that 53% believe that motor cars are not to blame for accidents on the road and 33% believe that they are. The maintenance of safety is the primary purpose of traffic laws and signs. On the road, there are lots of hazards and barriers that could hurt or endanger drivers. Traffic laws and warning signs serve to lessen this danger and the likelihood of occurrence of accidents. According to data on non-motorized vehicle drivers, 90% of them adhere to traffic laws, 5% don't, and 5% occasionally do
