Absolutely — making roads safer doesn't always require massive infrastructure projects; it can often be achieved through a combination of small interventions, cultural shifts, and tech-enabled policies. Below are layered suggestions for road safety, ranging from fast fixes to deeper reforms:

1. Behavioral & Cultural Shifts
Nationwide Driver Re-Education Campaigns
Public campaigns focused on respect, patience, and awareness, not just speed and signs.

Focus on pedestrian empathy, fatigue awareness, and high-risk times (e.g. dusk, school zones).

Normalize Dashcams & Reporting
Incentivize dashcam use and make it easy to upload/report footage of dangerous driving, which also discourages road rage and reckless behavior.

Public Display of Accident Data
Visual signage showing recent crash stats or near-misses in that area (like workplace safety boards). Triggers cautious behavior.

2. Low-Cost Infrastructure Enhancements
Road Paint & Signage Refresh
Faded lane markers and confusing signs dramatically increase crashes, especially at night or in the rain. Repainting and better retroreflective signage is fast and effective.

Raised Pedestrian Crossings
Slightly elevated zebra crossings force cars to slow down naturally, especially near schools and shops.

Narrowing Lanes in High Risk Areas
Reducing perceived road width with paint or curbing automatically lowers speed due to psychology of space.

3. Technology + Policy
Smart Speed Limiting in Vehicles
Introduce geofenced dynamic speed limits enforced via vehicle sensors (especially for government and commercial fleets).

Staggered Traffic Light Timing for Flow
Adjust signal timing to discourage aggressive acceleration and stop-start driving, which leads to rear-end accidents and pedestrian hits.

Black Spot Instant Alerts
Build a national system that alerts drivers (via car HUDs or phones) when entering historically dangerous intersections or curves.
