\u00dclkemizdeki trafik k\u00fclt\u00fcr\u00fc ve sistemleri hakk\u0131nda eminim herkes bir yorum yapabilir. Ele\u015ftirebilece\u011fimiz \u00f6yle \u00e7ok \u015fey var ki yaz\u0131mda hangisine de\u011finmem gerekti\u011fi konusunda karars\u0131z kald\u0131m. Biraz d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcnce akl\u0131ma ba\u015fka bir \u015fey geldi. Herkesin fark etmesinin m\u00fcmk\u00fcn olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131 bir konuyu bizzat deneyimleyen biri olarak size, g\u00f6rme engelli bireylerin trafikteki m\u00fccadelesini anlatmaya karar verdim. Hemen hemen hepimizin \u015fahit oldu\u011fu baz\u0131 olumsuz durumlar var. Kald\u0131r\u0131mlara ara\u00e7lar\u0131n park etmesi, y\u00f6nlendirici kabartmalar\u0131n bir anda sona ermesi veya bir dura\u011f\u0131n i\u00e7inden ge\u00e7mesi, her trafik lambas\u0131n\u0131n sesli uyar\u0131 sisteminin olmamas\u0131 gibi\u2026 Bunlar\u0131 hepimiz az \u00e7ok bildi\u011fimiz i\u00e7in ben biraz daha k\u0131y\u0131da k\u00f6\u015fede kalm\u0131\u015f dertlerimden bahsetmek istiyorum.<\/p>\n

Fark ettiniz mi bilmiyorum; Ankara, yak\u0131n zamanda metro giri\u015flerindeki turnike sistemlerini de\u011fi\u015ftirdi. Bu de\u011fi\u015fiklikten \u00f6nce engelli bireyler yaln\u0131zca turnikelerin en sonundaki engelli kap\u0131lar\u0131ndan ge\u00e7i\u015f sa\u011flayabiliyordu. Peki ne oluyor o kap\u0131lardan ge\u00e7erken? Baz\u0131 g\u00fcvenlik g\u00f6revlileri, fiziksel olarak fark edilebilir bir engeli olmayan insanlar\u0131n yollar\u0131n\u0131 \u201cBuradan ge\u00e7emezsiniz.\u201d diyerek kesebiliyor. \u00dczerinde foto\u011fraflar\u0131m\u0131z bulunan engelli kartlar\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 g\u00f6stermemize ra\u011fmen \u201cBu foto\u011fraftaki sen misin?\u201d diyerek yolumuzu a\u00e7mamakta \u0131srarc\u0131 olabiliyor. Bu durumda yan\u0131n\u0131zdan ge\u00e7en insanlar ne oldu\u011funu anlamak i\u00e7in size d\u00f6n\u00fcyor ya da arkan\u0131zda bir s\u0131ra olu\u015fuyor. Siz de olduk\u00e7a mahcup, durduk yere stres olmu\u015f bir \u015fekilde o g\u00fcnk\u00fc yolculu\u011funuzu yap\u0131yorsunuz. Ben Ankara\u2019da ge\u00e7irdi\u011fim iki bu\u00e7uk sene i\u00e7erisinde d\u00f6rt kez bunu ya\u015fad\u0131m ve sonunda belediyeye mail atarak ge\u00e7i\u015fimizin di\u011fer turnikelerden de m\u00fcmk\u00fcn olmas\u0131n\u0131 talep ettim. Neyse ki yeni turnikelerde bunu sa\u011flad\u0131lar fakat burada da k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck bir sorunumuz var. Biliyorsunuz, kart\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 okuttu\u011fumuzda makineler \u201cabonman\u201d, \u201c\u00f6\u011frenci\u201d, \u201ckredi kart\u0131\u201d diye ba\u011f\u0131rarak kartlar\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 afi\u015fe ediyor. Engelli kart\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 bast\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131zda da herkesin duyabilece\u011fi bir tonda \u201cSERBEST\u201d diye \u015fak\u0131yor. Bir sorun bakal\u0131m biz birlikte toplu ta\u015f\u0131maya bindi\u011fimiz insanlar\u0131n bizim engelli oldu\u011fumuzu bilmesini istiyor muyuz? \u0130\u015fin k\u00f6t\u00fcs\u00fc, biz duruma a\u00e7\u0131kl\u0131k getirmezsek yan\u0131m\u0131zdaki ki\u015fi dedemizin kart\u0131yla toplu ta\u015f\u0131ma kulland\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 san\u0131yor. Dikkatinizi \u00e7ekti mi bilmiyorum ama \u0130stanbul\u2019da veya \u0130zmir\u2019de b\u00f6yle bir durum yok. Demek ki Ankara\u2019da olmas\u0131na da gerek yok.<\/p>\n

Hep kartlardan bahsettim ama o kartlar\u0131 kullanabiliyorsak \u015fansl\u0131y\u0131z \u00e7\u00fcnk\u00fc binmek istedi\u011fimiz otob\u00fcs\u00fc yakalam\u0131\u015f\u0131z demektir. Bir de numaralar\u0131n\u0131 g\u00f6remedi\u011fimiz i\u00e7in ka\u00e7\u0131rd\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z otob\u00fcsleri saysak roman olur. \u00d6zellikle \u00e7ok fazla otob\u00fcs\u00fcn ge\u00e7ti\u011fi g\u00fczergahlarda otob\u00fcsler el etmeden durmuyor, bilirsiniz. B\u00f6yle durumlarda otob\u00fcs\u00fcn geldi\u011fini g\u00f6rmek, numaras\u0131n\u0131 se\u00e7meye \u00e7al\u0131\u015fmak, telefonun kameras\u0131yla b\u00fcy\u00fct\u00fcp bakmak derken hoooop, otob\u00fcs ge\u00e7iveriyor! Ben b\u00f6yle b\u00f6yle tek seferde d\u00f6rt otob\u00fcs ka\u00e7\u0131rd\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131 bilirim. Neyse ki sonradan dura\u011fa bir teyze geldi de kendisinden yard\u0131m istedim. Bunu ya\u015fad\u0131ktan yakla\u015f\u0131k bir y\u0131l sonra \u00f6\u011frendim ki \u0130stanbul\u2019daki toplu ta\u015f\u0131malar i\u00e7in bir sistem geli\u015ftiriliyor. Mevcut uygulamalara, bizdeki Ego Cepte gibi, eklenmesi planlanan bu g\u00fcncellemede \u201cbu durakta yolcu var\u201d butonu bulunuyor. Bu butona t\u0131klad\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131zda yakla\u015fan otob\u00fcse durakta onu bekleyen bir yolcu oldu\u011fu bildirimi gidiyor. Ger\u00e7ekle\u015febilirse hayat\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 kurtaracak o proje umar\u0131m Ankara\u2019ya da gelir.<\/p>\n

Otob\u00fcs\u00fcm\u00fcz\u00fc durdurabildik, kart\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 okuttuk, \u015fimdi s\u0131ra do\u011fru yerde inebilmekte. E\u011fer metro kullan\u0131yorsak daha \u015fansl\u0131y\u0131z \u00e7\u00fcnk\u00fc genelde duraklar seslendiriliyor. E\u011fer bir ar\u0131za yoksa metrolarda bu sistem pek aksam\u0131yor ama otob\u00fcsler\u2026 Ankara\u2019da bu konuda ciddi bir eksik var arkada\u015flar. Neredeyse hi\u00e7bir otob\u00fcste durak seslendirilmiyor. Bunun bir a\u00e7ma kapatma d\u00fc\u011fmesi mi var yoksa b\u00fct\u00fcn otob\u00fcsler bozulmu\u015f mu bilmiyorum ama her hal\u00fckarda bir m\u00fcdahaleye ihtiya\u00e7 var. Kar\u015f\u0131la\u015ft\u0131rma yap\u0131p her seferinde Ankara\u2019y\u0131 yermek istemiyorum ama \u0130stanbul bu konuda da bana hi\u00e7 s\u0131k\u0131nt\u0131 ya\u015fatm\u0131yor. T\u0131pk\u0131 metrolar\u0131m\u0131zdaki gibi otob\u00fcslerimizde de nereye yakla\u015ft\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 s\u00f6yleyen sesli uyaranlara bizim ger\u00e7ekten ihtiyac\u0131m\u0131z var. Aksi halde telefondan takip etmeye \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131rken \u015farj\u0131m\u0131z bitiyor gidene kadar. Yolu iyi biliyor olsak bile gece ve g\u00fcnd\u00fcz, ya\u011fmur ve g\u00fcne\u015f bile bizim etraf\u0131 nas\u0131l g\u00f6rd\u00fc\u011f\u00fcm\u00fcz\u00fc, bazen de g\u00f6remedi\u011fimizi, etkiliyor.<\/p>\n

\u015eimdi i\u00e7inizden; bu kadar dertlenmek yerine \u015fof\u00f6re sorsan\u0131za, diyebilirsiniz ama kar\u015f\u0131la\u015ft\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z her insan sizler kadar iyi niyetli ve yard\u0131msever olmuyor maalesef. Kamp\u00fcs\u00fcm\u00fczdeki ringlerde bile ringin nereye gitti\u011fi sorusu \u201c\u00d6n\u00fcnde yaz\u0131yor ya!\u201d \u015feklinde kar\u015f\u0131lanabiliyor. \u015eu durakta inmem gerek, yakla\u015ft\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131zda haber verir misiniz deyince tamam diyen \u015fof\u00f6rler, dura\u011fa yakla\u015ft\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131zda olay\u0131 \u00e7oktan unutmu\u015f olabiliyor. \u0130nsand\u0131r, yo\u011funluktan unutabilir tabi. Burada mesele, bizim kimsenin bizler i\u00e7in bir \u015feyler yapmas\u0131n\u0131 beklemeden hareket edebiliyor olu\u015fumuz.<\/p>\n

Bunlar ve \u00e7ok daha fazlas\u0131 engelli bireylerin trafi\u011fe kar\u0131\u015fmas\u0131n\u0131n \u00f6n\u00fcne ge\u00e7ebiliyor. \u0130nsanlar bu y\u00fczden toplu ta\u015f\u0131may\u0131 tercih etmek yerine \u00f6zel ara\u00e7lar\u0131n\u0131 tercih ediyor. S\u0131rf bu olumsuz deneyimlerden uzak durmak i\u00e7in evinden \u00e7\u0131kmak istemeyen insanlar\u0131n da var oldu\u011funu bilmenizi isterim. Bu gibi k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck detaylar\u0131n iyile\u015ftirilmesi bile engelli bir bireyin tek ba\u015f\u0131na hareket edebilmesini \u00e7ok b\u00fcy\u00fck \u00f6l\u00e7\u00fcde destekliyor. Bizim bireysel olarak bu zorluklar\u0131n fark\u0131nda olmam\u0131z bile bir \u015feyleri de\u011fi\u015ftirebilir diye d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc\u011f\u00fcmden bu yaz\u0131y\u0131 yaz\u0131yorum. Buraya kadar okuyan herkese te\u015fekk\u00fcr ediyor, trafikte ba\u015far\u0131lar diliyorum.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Trafik genellikle hepimizin \u015fik\u00e2yet etti\u011fi teknik bir sorun olarak tan\u0131mlan\u0131r\u2014daha iyi yollar, daha ak\u0131ll\u0131 sinyaller, daha h\u0131zl\u0131 arabalar\u2014ancak ger\u00e7ekte, \u00e7o\u011funlukla bir k\u00fclt\u00fcr sorunudur.

Bu, sosyal ve insani bir sorundur. Trafikte g\u00fcvenlik ve s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirlik \u00f6nemlidir \u00e7\u00fcnk\u00fc g\u00fcvenli olmayan trafik insanlar\u0131 do\u011frudan \u00f6ld\u00fcr\u00fcr ve s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclemez trafik herkesi yava\u015f yava\u015f etkiler. Bu y\u00fczden, insan hayat\u0131na ve kolektif refaha de\u011fer veren bir toplum i\u00e7in temel unsurlard\u0131r. Trafik g\u00fcvensiz oldu\u011funda, sonu\u00e7lar an\u0131nda ve ac\u0131mas\u0131zd\u0131r. Kazalar saniyeler i\u00e7inde olur, ancak etkileri sonsuza dek s\u00fcrer. Aileler sevdiklerini kaybeder, \u015fehirler g\u00fcvenini kaybeder ve insanlar kamusal alanda g\u00fcvenlik duygusunu kaybeder. S\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirlik ise daha sessiz \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131r. Emisyonlar, g\u00fcr\u00fclt\u00fc ve kirlilik yava\u015f yava\u015f birikir, ancak akci\u011ferlere zarar verir, ya\u015fam beklentisini k\u0131salt\u0131r ve iklim de\u011fi\u015fikli\u011fini h\u0131zland\u0131r\u0131r.

Sokaklar \u00e7ocuklar, ya\u015fl\u0131lar ve bisikletliler i\u00e7in g\u00fcvenliyse, herkes i\u00e7in g\u00fcvenlidir. Bu, hayat\u0131 yava\u015flatmakla ilgili de\u011fil; hareketi daha ak\u0131ll\u0131 ve daha adil hale getirmekle ilgili. Bu noktaya ula\u015fmak farkl\u0131 seviyelerde eylem gerektirir. Ki\u015fisel d\u00fczeyde, g\u00fcvenli ve s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilir hareketlilik k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck ama anlaml\u0131 se\u00e7imlerle ba\u015flar. Be\u015f kilometre daha yava\u015f s\u00fcrmek, yaya ge\u00e7idinde tamamen durmak, agresif bir \u015fekilde sollama yapmamay\u0131 se\u00e7mek, telefonu bir kenara b\u0131rakmak, k\u0131sa yolculuklar i\u00e7in arabay\u0131 evde b\u0131rakmak veya m\u00fcmk\u00fcn oldu\u011funda toplu ta\u015f\u0131ma ara\u00e7lar\u0131n\u0131 tercih etmek kahramanca fedakarl\u0131klar de\u011fildir; bunlar temel sorumluluk eylemleridir. Trafik k\u00fclt\u00fcr\u00fc, milyonlarca b\u00f6yle karar\u0131n birle\u015fimidir. Bireyler sorumlu davrand\u0131\u011f\u0131nda, yollar daha tahmin edilebilir, daha sakin ve daha g\u00fcvenli hale gelir. S\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirlik, bu mikro kararlarda da ya\u015f\u0131yor: y\u00fcr\u00fcmek, bisiklete binmek veya toplu ta\u015f\u0131ma kullanmak sadece \u00e7evresel de\u011fil; daha temiz hava ve daha sessiz \u015fehirler i\u00e7in pratik bir katk\u0131d\u0131r. \u015eehir ve organizasyon d\u00fczeyinde etki daha da g\u00fc\u00e7l\u00fc hale gelebilir. \u015eehirler, kaosu y\u00f6netmek yerine \u00e7at\u0131\u015fmay\u0131 azaltmak i\u00e7in sokaklar\u0131 yeniden tasarlayabilir. Daha dar \u015feritler, trafik sakinle\u015ftirme, korunakl\u0131 bisiklet yollar\u0131, yayalar i\u00e7in korunakl\u0131 alanlar ve eri\u015filebilir toplu ta\u015f\u0131ma gibi tasar\u0131mlar ders vermeye gerek kalmadan davran\u0131\u015flar\u0131 de\u011fi\u015ftirir. \u0130\u015f yerleri ve \u00fcniversiteler, yo\u011fun saatlerdeki bask\u0131y\u0131 azaltarak esnek \u00e7al\u0131\u015fma saatlerini ve uzaktan \u00e7al\u0131\u015fmay\u0131 destekleyebilir. Altyap\u0131, insanlara nas\u0131l davranmalar\u0131 gerekti\u011fini \u00f6\u011fretir; bir yol otoyol gibi hissettiriyorsa, insanlar da \u00f6yle s\u00fcrer. Bir mahalle gibi hissettiriyorsa, ona g\u00f6re davran\u0131rlar. \u0130kinci se\u00e7ene\u011fi tercih etmek, ayn\u0131 anda hem g\u00fcvenli\u011fi hem de s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirli\u011fi art\u0131r\u0131r. K\u00fcresel olarak, trafik g\u00fcvenli\u011fi ve s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirlik uluslararas\u0131 i\u015f birli\u011fini gerektirir. Yol g\u00fcvenli\u011fi ve ula\u015f\u0131m emisyonlar\u0131 k\u00fcresel sorunlard\u0131r, yerel rahats\u0131zl\u0131klar de\u011fil. Yol g\u00fcvenli\u011fi ve s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilir hareketlilik, iste\u011fe ba\u011fl\u0131 politikalar de\u011fil, halk sa\u011fl\u0131\u011f\u0131 ve iklim sorunlar\u0131 gibi ele al\u0131nmal\u0131d\u0131r. Uluslararas\u0131 standartlar, payla\u015f\u0131lan veriler ve ortak iklim hedefleri, \u00fclkeleri ayn\u0131 hatalar\u0131 tekrarlamak yerine birlikte insan merkezli hareketlili\u011fe \u00f6ncelik vermeye itebilir. Neyin i\u015fe yarad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 zaten biliyoruz; zorluk, bunu tutarl\u0131 bir \u015fekilde uygulamay\u0131 se\u00e7mektir.<\/p>\n

Sonu\u00e7 olarak, trafik sadece ba\u015f\u0131m\u0131za gelen bir \u015fey de\u011fil; her g\u00fcn aktif olarak yaratt\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z de\u011ferlerimizin bir aynas\u0131d\u0131r. Yollar\u0131m\u0131zda tehlikeyi, kirlili\u011fi ve e\u015fitsizli\u011fi kabul edersek, bunlar\u0131 g\u00fcnl\u00fck hayat\u0131m\u0131zda da kabul etmi\u015f oluruz. Ancak daha g\u00fcvenli h\u0131zlar\u0131, daha temiz ula\u015f\u0131m\u0131 ve daha kapsay\u0131c\u0131 tasar\u0131m\u0131 se\u00e7ersek, hareketlili\u011fin hayat\u0131 tehdit etmek yerine destekledi\u011fi bir gelece\u011fi se\u00e7mi\u015f oluruz. Okuyuculara son s\u00f6z\u00fcm basit: trafik sadece i\u00e7inde s\u0131k\u0131\u015f\u0131p kald\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z bir \u015fey de\u011fil, ayn\u0131 zamanda yaratt\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z bir \u015fey. Ve bu da onu de\u011fi\u015ftirme g\u00fcc\u00fcne sahip oldu\u011fumuz anlam\u0131na geliyor. Sistemleri ve davran\u0131\u015flar\u0131 h\u0131z yerine sayg\u0131 etraf\u0131nda tasarlarsak, yollar \u00e7at\u0131\u015fma alanlar\u0131 yerine ba\u011flant\u0131 alanlar\u0131 haline gelebilir. Trafi\u011fi bir sava\u015f alan\u0131 olarak g\u00f6rmeyi b\u0131rak\u0131p bir sosyal sistem olarak g\u00f6rmeye ba\u015flarsak, sadece daha h\u0131zl\u0131 de\u011fil, ayn\u0131 zamanda daha adil, daha g\u00fcvenli ve daha insanc\u0131l bir hareketlilik in\u015fa edebiliriz.

In today\u2019s blog, we\u2019re going to focus on issues related to traffic safety. The reason we choose this topic is the increasing number of accidents happening in our country. Around 676,706<\/strong> total traff<\/strong>ic acc<\/strong>idents <\/strong>were reported by General Directorate of Security In 2025 and approximately 2,541 people lost the<\/strong>ir l<\/strong>ives <\/strong>in these crashes In T\u00fcrkiye. Why is safety in traffic so important? Because it protects people\u2019s life, mental health, and creates a sense of trust in public. Traffic safety can be provided by designing systems, rules, and education. This is where sustainability gets involved. Because it fosters prosocial behavior, responsibility, and long-term thinking which also serves traffic safety. Safety protects lives, while sustainability protects the future. Together they create a human-centered traffic system. In order to build this system, what should we do? Firstly, we should prioritize human life over anything\u2026 ANYTHING! When we\u2019re designing anything related to traffic, we must take into account the psychological and physical limits of humans. Realistic speed limits and road designs accessible to people with disabilities are examples of such features. Secondly, we should educate people beyond teaching them only laws. If people can learn how to regulate their emotions, make empathy and take responsibility in traffic, this means a safer environment for both drivers and pedestrians. What we shouldn\u2019t do is to normalize risky behavior, prioritize money and blame only the individuals not the systems. Current traffic systems, both nationally and globally, are going for increasing motorization and traffic density due to the rapid advancements of technology. However, humans are struggling to keep pace with these rapid technological advancements, which reduces safety and sustainability. On the contrary, we should move toward a human-centered mobility culture where we adopt the laws and technological tools that are in sync with human nature and its limitations. We also should aim for responsible, emotionally regulated, adaptive and conscious road users. What we can do as a person Is to regulate our emotions, avoid risky behavior while we\u2019re in traffic such as alcohol use, and prefer sustainable mobility options. Our behaviors in traffic should be motivated by Internalize responsibility, not fear of punishment. The focus should be on environment shaping behaviors on the meso level. Cities should provide accessible and reliable public transportation. Traffic free, safe school zones, and pedestrian friendly spaces should be Included In the city designs. On the macro level, countries should first adopt national safety and sustainability strategies and apply them accordingly. Enforcement of traffic laws and providing a reliable license acquisition procedure are also responsibilities of policy makers. Lastly, the aim should be global coordination and shared learning on the magna level. International structures can set global safety and sustainability standards. Also, the practices, data, and research can be shared and supported across countries. In general, the safety and sustainability in traffic can be accomplished when individuals regulate their behaviors, cities shape the environment safely, countries provide strong frameworks and international organizations coordinate and support each other.<\/p>\n

As members of society, we all have responsibilities towards one another, and we can create a safe living environment ONLY by working together at all levels.<\/p>\n

Yap\u0131lan bir ara\u015ft\u0131rmaya g\u00f6re, ki\u015fili\u011fimizi olu\u015fturan \u00f6nemli yap\u0131 ta\u015flar\u0131n\u0131n kaza yapma riskimizi tahmin edebilme \u015fanslar\u0131 var.<\/p>\n

Sorumluluk sahibi biriyseniz trafikte bu bir avantaja d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015febilir. Ara\u015ft\u0131rmalara g\u00f6re sorumluluk sahibi olmak, kaza riskini azaltabiliyor. Bunun en b\u00fcy\u00fck sebebi, bu \u00f6zelli\u011fe sahip insanlar\u0131n \u00e7evrelerine, kendilerine ve kurallara duyduklar\u0131 sayg\u0131 sonucu gerekli kurallara uymalar\u0131 ve trafikte daha dikkat olmalar\u0131d\u0131r. Yani etrafta ceza veren biri olmasa bile sorumluluk sahibi insanlar kurallara daha \u00e7ok uymaya \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131r. Kaza riski b\u00f6ylece daha az olabilir.<\/p>\n

Uyumlu biri olup olmaman\u0131z da trafi\u011fi etkileyen di\u011fer unsurdur. Uyumluluk beraberinde \u00e7at\u0131\u015fmadan ka\u00e7\u0131nmay\u0131 da getirir. Kriz anlar\u0131nda daha nazik, yard\u0131msever ve anlay\u0131\u015fl\u0131 olup kavgadan ka\u00e7\u0131nmak kaza riskini azalt\u0131r. Aksi \u015fekilde uyumlu olmayan ki\u015filerin agresif ara\u00e7 s\u00fcr\u00fc\u015f\u00fcne ve yol kavgalar\u0131na daha a\u00e7\u0131k olma ihtimali vard\u0131r.<\/p>\n

D\u0131\u015fad\u00f6n\u00fck biri misiniz? E\u011fer cevab\u0131n\u0131z evetse g\u00fcnl\u00fck hayatta harika bir \u015fey olmas\u0131na ra\u011fmen bu trafikte d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc\u011f\u00fcn\u00fcz kadar iyi olmayabilir. Sosyalle\u015fme ihtiyac\u0131 sonucu yolcularla sohbet etme, telefonla ilgilenme, \u015fark\u0131 s\u00f6yleme ya da yolu izleme gibi aktivitelerde bulunma oran\u0131n\u0131z artabilir. Bu davran\u0131\u015flar dikkat da\u011f\u0131n\u0131kl\u0131\u011f\u0131na sebep olarak kaza riskini artt\u0131rabilir. Ayn\u0131 \u015fekilde heyecan aray\u0131\u015f\u0131 d\u0131\u015fad\u00f6n\u00fck insanlar\u0131n \u00f6zelliklerinden olabilir ve trafik kazalar\u0131n\u0131n en \u00f6nemli sebeplerinden biridir.<\/p>\n

Duygusal olarak stabil olmaman\u0131z trafikte nas\u0131l biri oldu\u011funuzu etkiliyor. E\u011fer stres ve \u00f6fke gibi olumsuz duygular\u0131 kontrol etmekte zorlan\u0131yorsan\u0131z bu kaza riskinizi artt\u0131rabilir.\u00a0 Duygusal hassasiyetiniz varsa k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck durumlar bile sizi stres alt\u0131na sokarak zihinsel kapasitenizi daralt\u0131r. Bu durum odaklanmay\u0131 zorla\u015ft\u0131rarak trafikte problemlere sebep olabilir. Ayn\u0131 \u015fekilde olumsuz duygular\u0131 kontrol etmede zorlanmak kar\u015f\u0131 tarafla empati kurmay\u0131 engelleyerek kavga riskini artt\u0131r\u0131r.<\/p>\n

Yeni deneyimlere a\u00e7\u0131k olan insanlar\u0131n durumu daha farkl\u0131d\u0131r. Yeni deneyimlere a\u00e7\u0131k olmak riskli davran\u0131\u015flara sebep de olabilir, ayn\u0131 \u015fekilde engelleyici bir unsur da olabilir. Ve bu nedenle bu ki\u015filik \u00f6zelli\u011fiyle kazalar aras\u0131nda ba\u011f kurmak daha zordur.<\/p>\n

Peki bu ki\u015filik \u00f6zelliklerine sahip olmak kaza yapma riskini kesinle\u015ftirir mi? Hay\u0131r, bu hi\u00e7bir \u015feyi kesinle\u015ftirmez. Ki\u015filik \u00f6zelliklerimiz yaln\u0131zca bulunabilece\u011fimiz riskli davran\u0131\u015flara katk\u0131 sa\u011flayabilir. Trafikte dikkatli olup, uygun bir \u015fekilde davranarak bu ihtimalleri en aza indirebiliriz yani ki\u015fili\u011finiz kaderiniz de\u011fildir. \u00d6nemli olan nas\u0131l davranmay\u0131 se\u00e7ti\u011fimizdir.<\/p>\n

Di\u011fer \u00fcst\u00fcne d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnmemiz gereken konu neler yapabilece\u011fimizdir. Her zaman amac\u0131m\u0131z daha g\u00fcvenli bir trafik olmal\u0131d\u0131r, gitmemiz gereken taraf oras\u0131d\u0131r. Bunun i\u00e7in sorumluluk al\u0131p \u00f6nlemlere uymal\u0131y\u0131z. Mesela birey olarak, kendimizi ve ki\u015filik \u00f6zelliklerimizi tan\u0131mak, kendimize bu konuda d\u00fcr\u00fcst olmak \u00f6nemlidir.

Kaza riskini artt\u0131racak y\u00f6nlerimi kontrol etmeyi \u00f6\u011frenmek hem \u00e7evremi hem de beni g\u00fcvende tutabilir. Kurumlar s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fc se\u00e7erken ki\u015filik \u00f6zelliklerine de bakarak karar verebilir, s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fclere \u201cstres y\u00f6netimi\u201d e\u011fitimleri verilerek kaza riski azalt\u0131labilir.\u00a0 \u015eehirler ve yollar tasarlan\u0131rken hata affeden tasar\u0131mlar \u00f6n plana \u00e7\u0131kar\u0131labilir.\u00a0 Uygun tasar\u0131mlarla trafikteki stresli ortam ortadan kald\u0131r\u0131lmaya \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131labilir. \u0130nsan fakt\u00f6r\u00fc d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fclerek kaza riski azalt\u0131labilir. \u00dclkeler, trafik e\u011fitimlerinde trafikteki ko\u015fullar\u0131 da i\u00e7inde bulunduran ve o anlarla y\u00fczle\u015fmeyi \u00f6\u011freten e\u011fitimler verebilir. Uluslararas\u0131 ara\u015ft\u0131rmalar yap\u0131larak bu konu \u00fczerine olan bilgi birikimi geli\u015ftirilebilir, bir \u00fclkede \u00e7al\u0131\u015fan sistem ba\u015fka bir \u00fclkeye adapte edilerek ilham olabilir.<\/p>\n

Son olarak trafik \u00e7ok katmanl\u0131 bir sistemdir, bu sistemin her par\u00e7as\u0131n\u0131n uygun ve d\u00fczenli bir \u015fekilde i\u015flemesi gerekir. Aksi durumda problemler ortaya \u00e7\u0131kmaya ba\u015flar. \u00a0Uzmanlar taraf\u0131ndan gerekli \u00e7al\u0131\u015fmalar yap\u0131l\u0131yor ancak bu \u00e7al\u0131\u015fmalar\u0131 takip edip uygulamak trafikteki her bireyin de sorumlulu\u011fundad\u0131r.Hepimiz sorumluluk alarak trafik g\u00fcvenli\u011fini iyile\u015ftimek i\u00e7in u\u011fra\u015fmal\u0131y\u0131z.

Hedefimiz bunlar\u0131 azaltarak daha az stres ve \u00e7evre kirlili\u011fine sebep olacak\u00a0 daha g\u00fcvenli bir trafik ortam\u0131 olu\u015fturmak olmal\u0131d\u0131r.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

S\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirlik, g\u00fcvenli\u011fe nazaran bence daha n\u00fcans gerektiren bir konu.

Ama yine de nedense, trafik g\u00fcvenli\u011finin \u00f6nemi, yeteri kadar fark edilmiyor.<\/p>\n

\u00c7ok g\u00f6z\u00fcme \u00e7arpan bir \u00f6rnek var mesela, g\u00fcvenli takip mesafesi. G\u00fcvenli takip mesafesinin, ara\u00e7lar\u0131n kendi h\u0131zlar\u0131n\u0131n kilometre cinsinden saatteki h\u0131z\u0131n\u0131n, yar\u0131s\u0131 kadar metre oldu\u011funu \u00f6\u011frendi\u011fimde inanamam\u0131\u015ft\u0131m. \u00c7\u00fcnk\u00fc ben h\u0131z \u00fcst s\u0131n\u0131r\u0131 saatte 30 kilometre olan bir yolda \u00f6rne\u011fin, aralar\u0131nda 15 metre mesafe bulunan 2 ara\u00e7 g\u00f6rd\u00fc\u011f\u00fcm\u00fc ger\u00e7ekten hat\u0131rlam\u0131yorum.

Sorun uygulama k\u0131sm\u0131nda ba\u015fl\u0131yor. Mesela ben hi\u00e7 g\u00fcvenli takip mesafesini korumad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 i\u00e7in ceza yiyen bir s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fc ile tan\u0131\u015fmad\u0131m, ama ayn\u0131 zamanda da g\u00fcvenli takip mesafesinin korundu\u011funa da \u015fahit olmad\u0131m.<\/p>\n

Peki, mesela neler yap\u0131labilir? Ba\u015flang\u0131\u00e7 olarak teknolojiyi anlamak ve do\u011fru kullanmak, ayn\u0131 zamanda teknolojinin neler yapabildi\u011fini ve yapamad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 fark ederek, s\u0131n\u0131rlar\u0131n\u0131 \u00e7izmek \u00e7ok \u00f6nemli. Kurallara uyulmas\u0131 ile ilgili problemler ve insan hatalar\u0131 otonom ara\u00e7larla ve geli\u015fmi\u015f s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fc destek sistemleri ile azalt\u0131labilir, fakat bu noktada otonom ara\u00e7lar\u0131n ve bu destek sistemlerinin entegrasyonunun getirece\u011fi s\u0131k\u0131nt\u0131lar do\u011facak. Bu nedenle yukarda da belirtti\u011fim gibi, teknolojinin kapasitesini kavramak ve s\u0131n\u0131rlar\u0131n\u0131 \u00e7izerek, buna uygun olacak \u015fekilde trafik kurallar\u0131n\u0131n ve gerektirdi\u011fi e\u011fitimlerin d\u00fcnya \u00e7ap\u0131nda revize edilmesi art\u0131k bir l\u00fcks de\u011fil, zaruriyet haline geldi. En basitinden, araba s\u00fcrmeyi 2000li y\u0131llardan \u00f6nce \u00f6\u011frenmi\u015f ki\u015filerin s\u00fcrmeyi \u00f6\u011frendikleri arabalar ile g\u00fcn\u00fcm\u00fczdeki arabalar sahip olduklar\u0131 teknolojiler a\u00e7\u0131s\u0131ndan \u00e7ok farkl\u0131. H\u0131zla geli\u015fen bu teknolojik \u00e7a\u011fa ayak uydurmak ve geli\u015fmelerin s\u00fcr\u00fc\u015f deneyiminde yaratt\u0131\u011f\u0131 de\u011fi\u015fimleri takip etmek, her teknoloji kullan\u0131c\u0131s\u0131n\u0131n oldu\u011fu kadar araba s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fclerin de sorumlulu\u011fu.<\/p>\n

Tabii ki, her bireyin gerekli sorumluluk bilincine sahip olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnecek olursak, b\u00f6ylesine hayati de\u011fer ta\u015f\u0131yan bir konuyu yaln\u0131zca s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fclerin sorumluluk bilincine ba\u011fl\u0131 hale getirmek bu noktada yanl\u0131\u015f olacak. S\u00fcr\u00fc\u015f e\u011fitimlerinde, gerekli kurslarda, hatta belki yerel y\u00f6netimlerin te\u015fvikleri ile gerekli bilgilendirmeler yap\u0131lmas\u0131, bu noktada do\u011facak ka\u00e7\u0131n\u0131lmaz bir ihtiya\u00e7. Ayr\u0131ca bu bilgilendirmelerin hangi y\u00f6nde olaca\u011f\u0131, hangi teknik ve \u00f6l\u00e7\u00fcmlerin kullan\u0131laca\u011f\u0131 da k\u00fcresel anlamda alanda yetkin ki\u015filerin bilim ile ayd\u0131nlatt\u0131\u011f\u0131 yol do\u011frultusunda olmal\u0131. Fakat ba\u015fka \u00fclkelerin modelleri ve teorileri bu ba\u011flamda \u00fclkelere uygulan\u0131rken, k\u00fclt\u00fcrel farkl\u0131l\u0131klar\u0131 da g\u00f6z ard\u0131 etmemek laz\u0131m.<\/p>\n

Otonom ara\u00e7lar\u0131n \u00e7o\u011funun sens\u00f6rler, i\u015flemciler ve yaz\u0131l\u0131m i\u00e7in elektrikli oldu\u011funu da d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcrsek, asl\u0131nda daha s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilir bir trafik i\u00e7in te\u015fviki ve trafi\u011fe entegrasyonlar\u0131 elzem. Bir noktada insanl\u0131k olarak \u00fcretebildi\u011fimiz bir enerji kayna\u011f\u0131 olan elektrik varken, s\u0131n\u0131rl\u0131 ve bir noktada bitecek olan yak\u0131tlar\u0131n kullan\u0131lmas\u0131n\u0131n mant\u0131\u011fa uygun bir durumu kalmad\u0131. \u00c7evreye verilen zarardan bahsetmiyorum bile, o bamba\u015fka bir konu ka\u00e7\u0131yor bu noktada.<\/p>\n

Otonom ara\u00e7lar\u0131n, bu heterojen kullan\u0131c\u0131 gruplar\u0131 i\u00e7in ve bu nedenle de toplum i\u00e7indeki hareket kabiliyetini artt\u0131rma konusunda katk\u0131lar\u0131 b\u00fcy\u00fck olacakt\u0131r.<\/p>\n

Fakat unutulmamal\u0131d\u0131r ki, her teknoloji beraberinde \u00f6ng\u00f6r\u00fclemeyen sorunlar\u0131 do\u011furacakt\u0131r.

Haz\u0131rlan\u0131p evden \u00e7\u0131km\u0131\u015fs\u0131n, apartmandan ad\u0131m\u0131n\u0131 att\u0131\u011f\u0131n ilk ad\u0131mla bir karma\u015fan\u0131n i\u00e7inde bulmu\u015fsun kendini. Ad\u0131: Trafik. \u0130ster araban\u0131n konta\u011f\u0131n\u0131 \u00e7al\u0131\u015ft\u0131r\u0131yor ol ister bisikletine atl\u0131yor ol, i\u015fte tam ortas\u0131ndas\u0131n.<\/p>\n

Sahi ka\u00e7 tane insan bisikletine binip bir yerlere gidiyor? Avrupa\u2019da insanlar s\u0131kl\u0131kla bisikleti bir ula\u015f\u0131m arac\u0131 olarak kullan\u0131yor. Hatta Hollanda\u2019n\u0131n eski ba\u015fbakan\u0131, \u015fimdinin NATO Genel Sekreteri Mark Rutte, senelerce ba\u015fbakanl\u0131k makam\u0131na alt\u0131nda bisikletiyle gidip geldi ve ayn\u0131 \u015fekilde de veda etti. Biz neden etraf\u0131m\u0131zda \u00e7ocuklar\u0131n hafta sonu aktivitesi olmaktan \u00f6teye ge\u00e7mi\u015f bisikletler g\u00f6remiyoruz?<\/p>\n

Benim bununla ilgili birka\u00e7 fikrim var. Biliyorum, g\u00fcvende hissetmiyoruz. Bisikletle gidebilece\u011fimiz kesintisiz, ara\u00e7 ve yaya trafi\u011finden ayr\u0131 yollara sahip de\u011filiz. \u00dcstelik fark\u0131nday\u0131z, bu i\u015fin uyulan bir kural\u0131 da yok. Ne h\u0131z s\u0131n\u0131r\u0131 var ne bisiklet \u00f6nceli\u011fi. Uzun mesafeler kat etmek gerekiyor, bisikletle toplu ta\u015f\u0131maya aktarma yapmak her zaman m\u00fcmk\u00fcn olmuyor. T\u00fcm yollar ve var olan kurallar arabalara hizmet ediyor. \u0130stedi\u011fimiz yere bisikletle ula\u015fam\u0131yoruz. D\u00fczen bizi bireysel ara\u00e7 kullan\u0131m\u0131na davet ediyor. Biz de ko\u015fa ko\u015fa gidiyoruz.<\/p>\n

Sonu\u00e7 olarak bir bakm\u0131\u015f\u0131z hem hava kirli\u011fine hem g\u00fcr\u00fclt\u00fc kirlili\u011fine sebep oluyoruz. \u00dcst\u00fcne \u00fcstl\u00fck asla ilerlemeyen s\u0131k\u0131\u015f\u0131k trafikte stresten kafay\u0131 yiyoruz. Araban\u0131n i\u00e7indeyiz diye y\u00fczde y\u00fcz g\u00fcvende de de\u011filiz. Yeni bir araba ald\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131zda bile g\u00fcvenlik donan\u0131mlar\u0131 bize parayla \u201cek paket\u201d ad\u0131 alt\u0131nda sat\u0131l\u0131yor, bir de bunun kredisini \u00f6deyece\u011fiz.<\/p>\n

Hadi, her \u015feye ra\u011fmen \u00e7\u0131k\u0131yoruz yola. Emniyet \u015feridinde son h\u0131z giden \u201c\u00e7ok \u00f6nemli\u201d birileri var hep trafikte. Di\u011fer s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fclere de g\u00fcvenemiyoruz. G\u00fcvensizlik i\u00e7inde, t\u00fcm kaynaklar\u0131 hi\u00e7 d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnmeden kullanmaya ve t\u00fcketmeye devam ediyoruz.<\/p>\n

Peki, ne yapaca\u011f\u0131z? \u201cBu d\u00fczen b\u00f6yle gelmi\u015f b\u00f6yle gider\u201d mi diyece\u011fiz yoksa az da olsa de\u011fi\u015ftirebilmek i\u00e7in \u00e7abalayacak m\u0131y\u0131z? Mesela \u015fehir planlamalar\u0131n\u0131 iyile\u015ftirelim, insanlar yak\u0131n mesafelerde t\u00fcm i\u015flerini halledebilsin. Marketi, okulu, i\u015fi ya da hastaland\u0131\u011f\u0131nda gidece\u011fi ilk kurum yak\u0131n\u0131nda olsun. Ya da \u00f6yle bir ula\u015f\u0131m a\u011f\u0131 sa\u011flans\u0131n ki insanlar bireysel ara\u00e7 kullanmaya ihtiya\u00e7 duymas\u0131n.<\/p>\n

\u00d6rne\u011fin Londra\u2019da \u015fehir merkezine \u00f6zel arac\u0131nla girmek istedi\u011finde g\u00fcnl\u00fck bir \u00fccret \u00f6demen gerekiyor. Trafik yo\u011funlu\u011fu azal\u0131yor, insanlar toplu ta\u015f\u0131ma kullan\u0131yor. Tabi bu noktada toplu ta\u015f\u0131man\u0131n s\u0131k olmas\u0131 ve neredeyse her sokaktan ge\u00e7mesi \u00e7ok \u00f6nemli. G\u00fcvenli\u011fi sa\u011flamak i\u00e7in ultra teknolojik ara\u00e7lar\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 se\u00e7erken s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirli\u011fi bir kenara b\u0131rakmaktansa sokaklar\u0131 insanlara b\u0131rakmay\u0131 tercih edebiliriz. Zaten ultra teknolojik ara\u00e7lar da yaln\u0131zca bir kesime hitap ediyor. Oysa trafikte hepimiz bir b\u00fct\u00fcn\u00fcz.<\/p>\n

Bizse tamamen bireyselle\u015ferek, i\u00e7imize d\u00f6nerek teknolojik donan\u0131ma sahip sessiz tenekelere d\u00f6nmeyi tercih ediyoruz. Teneke y\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131na d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015fmemize ise \u00e7ok az kald\u0131. \u00dcst \u00fcste y\u0131\u011f\u0131l\u0131p kalaca\u011f\u0131z. Sadece kendimizi de\u011fil, trafi\u011fi bir b\u00fct\u00fcn olarak alg\u0131lamay\u0131 \u00f6\u011frenmemiz gerekiyor. Emisyonu azaltmal\u0131, trafikte insan\u0131 \u00f6nceliklendirmeliyiz.<\/p>\n

\u015eimdi, hakl\u0131s\u0131n\u0131z. Bu da ne kadar \u00e7ok \u015fey istiyor, ben tek ba\u015f\u0131ma hangisine yeti\u015feyim diye d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcneceksiniz. T\u00fcm y\u00fck\u00fc size y\u0131km\u0131yorum, onu da a\u00e7\u0131kl\u0131yorum tane tane. Birey olarak yapabileceklerimiz m\u00fcmk\u00fcn olan her mesafede y\u00fcr\u00fcmeyi, bisiklete binmeyi ya da toplu ta\u015f\u0131ma ara\u00e7lar\u0131n\u0131 tercih etmekle ba\u015fl\u0131yor. Olur da \u00f6zel arac\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 kullanmak zorunda kal\u0131rsak g\u00fcvenli s\u00fcr\u00fc\u015f kurallar\u0131na h\u00e2kim bir \u015fekilde oda\u011f\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 trafikte tutarak yola devam etmeliyiz.<\/p>\n

Bireylerin bir \u00fcst seviyesindeyse yerel y\u00f6netimler yer al\u0131yor. \u015eehirleri, trafik unsurlar\u0131n\u0131n yapt\u0131\u011f\u0131 hatalar\u0131 minimize edecek \u015fekilde d\u00fczenlemeleri \u00f6rne\u011fin h\u0131zl\u0131 gidilmemesi gereken yerlere kav\u015fak eklemeleri gerekiyor. Bu uygulamalar, veriler takip edilerek kaza yo\u011funlu\u011funun fazla oldu\u011fu noktalarda daha s\u0131k\u0131 tutulmas\u0131 da bir di\u011fer \u00f6nemli nokta. \u00d6zel ara\u00e7 kullan\u0131m\u0131n azalmas\u0131 i\u00e7in toplu ta\u015f\u0131ma a\u011flar\u0131n\u0131n g\u00fc\u00e7lendirilmesi de onlar\u0131n sorumlulu\u011funda.<\/p>\n

Yerel y\u00f6netimlerin g\u00fcc\u00fcn\u00fcn yetmedi\u011fi noktada devreye yasalar ve politikalar giriyor. \u00dclke y\u00f6netimlerinin trafi\u011fi d\u00fczenleyici, uygulanabilir ve cayd\u0131r\u0131c\u0131 bir ceza sistemi olu\u015fturmas\u0131 gerekiyor. \u015eehirleraras\u0131 ula\u015f\u0131m\u0131n geli\u015fmesi i\u00e7in yat\u0131r\u0131mlar yapmalar\u0131 \u015fart. Yoksa ara tatilde anneannenizi nas\u0131l ziyaret edeceksiniz?<\/p>\n

\u00dclke y\u00f6netimlerini desteklemek i\u00e7in k\u00fcresel bir vizyona da ihtiya\u00e7 duyuyoruz. Geli\u015fmekte olan \u00fclkeler g\u00fcvenli trafik donan\u0131mlar\u0131na sahip olabilmek i\u00e7in deste\u011fe ihtiya\u00e7 duyuyorlar. 2026 y\u0131l\u0131yla beraber Birle\u015fmi\u015f Milletler S\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilir Ula\u015f\u0131m On Y\u0131l\u0131 devreye girdi.

All of us are road users: drivers, passengers, riders, pedestrians, and so on. Every day we are exposed to traffic. But not many of us question our safety level while being involved in it. According to the World Health Organization, in recent years, around 1.2 million people die annually as a result of traffic accidents. It means that more than 3000 people die on the road every day. This simple but terrifying statistic demonstrates why safety in traffic is not a simple policy preference but a fundamental necessity.<\/p>\n

Why Safety and Sustainability?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Road traffic safety is more than just \u201caccident avoidance\u201d; it is an issue of public health and human life. Lifelong disabilities or even losing lives are often a price to pay for the road system failures. At the same time, we cannot elaborate on safety without sustainable development. A sustainable transportation system is a system that satisfies our current needs without jeopardising ecology or future generations\u2019 well-being. If a city is \u201cefficient\u201d, but its streets are lethal traps for pedestrians or cyclists, it can be considered neither safe nor sustainable.<\/p>\n

What Should (Not) We Do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to achieve safe mobility, we have to change the way of thinking. Instead of \u201cblaming the victim\u201d, we should \u201cdesign a forgiving system\u201d.<\/p>\n

What We Should Do<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We have to implement the \u201cVision Zero\u201d philosophy, which states that no death on the road can be acceptable. This requires a systematic approach towards safety, which includes designing the roads considering the unavoidability of humans\u2019 mistakes. We should prioritise the usage of active mobility types (like walking or cycling) and public transport. They are naturally more ecological and decrease the overall number of high-speed automobiles\/motorcycles on the roads.<\/p>\n

What We Should Not Do<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We have to stop treating death in traffic as \u201caccidents\u201d that are impossible to avoid. We cannot design the roads only for the speed and comfort of motorised transport while ignoring the vulnerable members of the traffic, like pedestrians. The emphasis on the \u201cgood behaviour\u201d of a single individual is not correct; even the most careful person may make a mistake, and this mistake should not become a death sentence.<\/p>\n

Where Do We Go, and Where Should We Go?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Currently we are in the rapid technological transition era. We see the development of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and the Automated Vehicles\u2019 (AV) perspectives. Even though they give hope regarding the reduction of human errors, technologies are not an ultimate solution.<\/p>\n

We have to aim for the safety hierarchy. According to the GDE (Goals for Driver Education) concept, driving is not occurring only at the operational levels (like manoeuvring or mastering traffic situations), but also at the levels of the context and skills for living. We have to move to a future where road users are not just skilled but also responsible: they consciously choose to drive less, slower and more respectfully.<\/p>\n

Multilevel Call for Action<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to fix such a complex system, we should act at all of the levels.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Micro Level (People):\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>As people who drive, we should engage in positive drivers\u2019 behaviours: be polite, give way to pedestrians, and keep the concentration. We can choose walking or cycling for the short distances so that we can decrease our \u201ccarbon footprint\u201d.<\/li>\n
  • Meso Level (Cities and Organisations<\/em><\/strong>):\u00a0<\/em>Cities should implement the \u201ctraffic calming\u201d solutions (like speed bumps) and \u201cforgiving infrastructure\u201d. Organisations should prioritise the safety of their workers during the work commute.<\/li>\n
  • Macro Level (Countries):<\/em><\/strong>Governments should control the road implementation of the 7E concept: Education, Enforcement, Engineering, Exposure, Examination, Emergency Response, and Evaluation. As examples of the government influence, we can include the strict legislation about speeding, safety belts, and drunk driving.<\/li>\n
  • Magna Level (International):\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>International organisations such as WHO and UN must continue their initiatives such as \u201cDecade of Action for Road Safety\u201d and establishing the global aim of a 50% reduction in traffic deaths by 2030. At the same time, they should guarantee that safety standards will become a world standard and not only a developed country\u2019s privilege.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Last Word<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Road traffic safety is a collective responsibility. We often think about the traffic as if it is something we \u201cgot stuck\u201d in while forgetting that we\u00a0are\u00a0<\/em>the traffic. Every time you decrease your speed or choose a bike instead of an automobile, you choose the life and the sustainable future. The road is our common space. Let\u2019s make it safe and ecological for everyone. It is the time to design, drive and live as if the fates of the people and the planet depend on it \u2013 because they truly do.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

    In today's world, with the ever-increasing population and traffic density, traffic problems have become a serious issue, especially in large cities. Along with this traffic problem, traffic accidents are increasing, causing the deaths of hundreds of people every year. Considering that even a single human life is precious, it seems essential to take steps to solve the problem of traffic safety. This situation raises the question of what we can do regarding safety and sustainability in traffic.<\/p>\n

    Preventing negative consequences caused by traffic, such as traffic accidents and environmental pollution, is extremely important, and this can only be achieved through safe and sustainable traffic. It should be considered that traffic accidents not only cause physical harm but also psychological damage. The fact that a person wonders every day whether something bad will happen to them on the road is a very serious problem. Because this shows that the consequences of traffic accidents affect not only individuals but also society. Therefore, we can say that traffic safety is a societal necessity rather than an individual choice. Protecting the safe and healthy lives of future generations is only possible with sustainable traffic. For example, many factors such as fossil fuel consumption and poorly planned transportation systems are making cities unlivable for future generations.<\/p>\n

    Lately, I've noticed how people are constantly rushing to get somewhere. Sometimes we're going to work, sometimes to an event, sometimes to class. But we're always in a hurry. I think this hasty attitude is reflected in traffic problems. Excessive speeding or avoiding public transportation to save time is perhaps a consequence of this. In addition, another thing that has caught my attention, and perhaps overlooked by many, is a very important point that deserves attention: multitasking. Talking on the phone while driving, talking to the passenger next to you, or listening to music causes distraction in traffic. Considering that accidents happen in seconds, these behaviors in traffic can have very serious consequences and should be avoided.<\/p>\n

    I want to examine the question of what we can do about traffic problems at four different levels. First, at the micro level, there are certain responsibilities that each of us has individually. Traffic safety begins with the individual. Every individual is a part of traffic safety. Examples include behaviors such as exceeding the speed limit and driving under the influence of alcohol. These examples endanger not only our own lives but also the lives of others. In addition, there are behaviors we need to adopt to ensure our own safety, such as wearing a seatbelt and a helmet. Secondly, there are responsibilities at the organization and urban level, which we call the meso level. At this point, roads, intersections, and pedestrian areas in the city should be designed safely, and public transportation options should be increased and improved. In addition, traffic rules and respect for others in traffic should be instilled in children from a young age in schools. At the macro level, it is crucial for safe and sustainable traffic that the state imposes serious penalties on those who do not comply with traffic rules and that laws are enacted to this end. Building cities with fewer cars, safer roads, and sufficient space for pedestrians should be the primary goal of the government. Finally, at the magna level, global traffic safety should be targeted in cooperation with international organizations. Countries should cooperate on traffic issues, considering the interests of the whole world. This vehicle-centric system, which causes accidents, noise, and environmental damage, should be replaced by a human-centric transportation system. This people-centered system should be inclusive, taking into account the well-being of everyone, including people with disabilities and the elderly.<\/p>\n

    Even a split-second decision in traffic can affect a person's life and lead to serious consequences. Recognizing that traffic is not just about vehicles and roads can be the first step in establishing a safe and sustainable traffic system. Even being aware of what we can do individually can make a difference.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Bir \u00e7arp\u0131\u015fma, bir gecikme ya da bir ihmal; yaln\u0131zca maddi hasar de\u011fil, bireylerin ya\u015fam alg\u0131s\u0131n\u0131, g\u00fcven duygusunu ve toplumun genel psikolojik iyi olu\u015funu da etkiler. Trafik, insanlar\u0131n kendilerini ne kadar g\u00fcvende hissettiklerini ve ba\u015fkalar\u0131na ne \u00f6l\u00e7\u00fcde g\u00fcvenebildiklerini yans\u0131tan g\u00fcndelik bir aynad\u0131r.

Ancak bu al\u0131\u015fma, sorunun ortadan kalkt\u0131\u011f\u0131 anlam\u0131na gelmez. Aksine, s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilir olmayan bir trafik sistemi, fark edilmeden toplumun gelece\u011fini daralt\u0131r ve hareket \u00f6zg\u00fcrl\u00fc\u011f\u00fcn\u00fc s\u0131n\u0131rlayan bir yap\u0131ya d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015f\u00fcr.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Bu noktada \u00f6nemli bir soru ortaya \u00e7\u0131kar: \u0130nsanlar trafikte neden \u00e7o\u011fu zaman aceleci, sab\u0131rs\u0131z ve risk almaya daha yatk\u0131n davran\u0131r?

Direksiyon ba\u015f\u0131nda ya da yaya olarak al\u0131nan bir\u00e7ok karar, bilin\u00e7li bir k\u00f6t\u00fc niyetten de\u011fil; zaman kazanma iste\u011finden, al\u0131\u015fkanl\u0131klardan ve ba\u015fkalar\u0131n\u0131n davran\u0131\u015flar\u0131n\u0131 hafife almaktan kaynaklan\u0131r. Ancak bu k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck ve s\u0131radan g\u00f6r\u00fcnen kararlar, ortak bir sistem i\u00e7inde bir araya geldi\u011finde ciddi sonu\u00e7lar do\u011furabilir.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bu y\u00fczden trafikte g\u00fcvenlik ve s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirlik, teknik bir mesele olmaktan \u00e7ok daha fazlas\u0131. Bu, nas\u0131l bir toplumda ya\u015famak istedi\u011fimizle ilgili bir tercih.<\/p>\n

    Trafikte g\u00fcvenlik ve s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirlik neden \u00f6nemli?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Her y\u0131l binlerce insan trafikte hayat\u0131n\u0131 kaybediyor. Daha fazlas\u0131 ise kal\u0131c\u0131 yaralanmalar, travmalar ve kay\u0131plarla ya\u015famaya devam ediyor. Trafik kazalar\u0131 \u00e7o\u011fu zaman \u201cka\u00e7\u0131n\u0131lmaz\u201d gibi sunulsa da, asl\u0131nda b\u00fcy\u00fck bir k\u0131sm\u0131 \u00f6nlenebilir insan davran\u0131\u015flar\u0131n\u0131n sonucu<\/strong>. G\u00fcvenli trafik, insanlar\u0131n evden \u00e7\u0131k\u0131p ak\u015fam tekrar eve d\u00f6nebilme ihtimalini art\u0131r\u0131r. Bu kadar basit ve bu kadar hayati.<\/p>\n

    S\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirlik ise i\u015fin uzun vadeli boyutu. Fosil yak\u0131tlara dayal\u0131, ara\u00e7 merkezli ula\u015f\u0131m sistemleri hem \u00e7evreyi kirletiyor hem de \u015fehirleri ya\u015fanmaz hale getiriyor. Daha fazla yol yapmak, daha fazla arac\u0131 te\u015fvik etmek anlam\u0131na geliyor ve bu da k\u0131s\u0131r bir d\u00f6ng\u00fc yarat\u0131yor. G\u00fcvenli ama s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclemez bir trafik sistemi de, s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilir ama g\u00fcvensiz bir sistem de asl\u0131nda ba\u015far\u0131s\u0131zd\u0131r. \u0130kisi birlikte d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fclmek zorundad\u0131r.<\/p>\n

    G\u00fcvenli ve s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilir ula\u015f\u0131m i\u00e7in ne yapmal\u0131, ne yapmamal\u0131y\u0131z?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Yapmam\u0131z gerekenlerin ba\u015f\u0131nda insan\u0131 merkeze alan bir ula\u015f\u0131m anlay\u0131\u015f\u0131<\/strong> geliyor. Trafi\u011fi h\u0131z odakl\u0131 de\u011fil, ya\u015fam odakl\u0131 d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnmeliyiz. Yaya, bisikletli ve toplu ta\u015f\u0131ma kullan\u0131c\u0131lar\u0131n\u0131n g\u00fcvenli\u011fi \u00f6ncelik olmal\u0131. Trafik kurallar\u0131 yaln\u0131zca cezadan korkuldu\u011fu i\u00e7in de\u011fil, ba\u015fkas\u0131n\u0131n hayat\u0131na sayg\u0131 duyuldu\u011fu i\u00e7in uygulanmal\u0131.<\/p>\n

    Yapmamam\u0131z gereken ise olduk\u00e7a net:
    \nH\u0131z yapmay\u0131 \u201cbeceri\u201d, kural ihlalini \u201cuyan\u0131kl\u0131k\u201d, yayaya yol vermemeyi \u201chak\u201d gibi g\u00f6rmekten vazge\u00e7meliyiz. Trafikte agresifli\u011fi, sab\u0131rs\u0131zl\u0131\u011f\u0131 ve bencilli\u011fi normalle\u015ftiren k\u00fclt\u00fcr, kazalar\u0131n en g\u00fc\u00e7l\u00fc zeminidir. Ayr\u0131ca \u00e7evreyi yok sayan, sadece bireysel konforu \u00f6nceleyen ula\u015f\u0131m politikalar\u0131 da uzun vadede herkese zarar verir.<\/p>\n

    Nereye gidiyoruz, nereye gitmeliyiz?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u015eu an gitti\u011fimiz yer \u00e7ok parlak de\u011fil. Daha fazla ara\u00e7, daha fazla trafik s\u0131k\u0131\u015f\u0131kl\u0131\u011f\u0131, daha fazla stres ve daha fazla kaza\u2026 \u015eehirler geni\u015fledik\u00e7e mesafeler uzuyor, insanlar arabaya daha ba\u011f\u0131ml\u0131 hale geliyor. Bu da hem g\u00fcvenli\u011fi hem de \u00e7evreyi tehdit ediyor.<\/p>\n

    Gitmemiz gereken yer ise daha net:
    \nDaha yava\u015f ama daha g\u00fcvenli<\/strong>, daha az bireysel ama daha \u00e7ok ortak<\/strong>, daha kirli de\u011fil daha temiz<\/strong> bir ula\u015f\u0131m sistemi. Yol kullan\u0131c\u0131lar\u0131n\u0131n sadece s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fclerden ibaret olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131, herkesin e\u015fit derecede korunmas\u0131 gereken bir trafik anlay\u0131\u015f\u0131 hedeflenmeli.<\/p>\n

    Daha g\u00fcvenli ve s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilir yol kullan\u0131c\u0131lar\u0131 i\u00e7in neyi hedeflemeliyiz?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Hedefimiz \u201ckusursuz s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fcler\u201d yaratmak olmamal\u0131. As\u0131l hedef, hata yap\u0131ld\u0131\u011f\u0131nda bile kimsenin \u00f6lmedi\u011fi ya da a\u011f\u0131r yaralanmad\u0131\u011f\u0131<\/strong> bir sistem kurmak olmal\u0131. \u0130nsan hata yapar; \u00f6nemli olan sistemin bu hatay\u0131 tolere edebilmesidir. Bu bak\u0131\u015f a\u00e7\u0131s\u0131, su\u00e7lay\u0131c\u0131 de\u011fil koruyucu bir trafik k\u00fclt\u00fcr\u00fcn\u00fc beraberinde getirir.<\/p>\n

    Mikrodan magna d\u00fczeye: Kim ne yapabilir?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Birey olarak yapabileceklerimiz asl\u0131nda \u00e7ok g\u00fc\u00e7l\u00fc. H\u0131z s\u0131n\u0131r\u0131na uymak, yaya ge\u00e7idinde durmak, telefona bakmadan ara\u00e7 kullanmak, emniyet kemeri takmak\u2026 Bunlar k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck gibi g\u00f6r\u00fcnen ama topland\u0131\u011f\u0131nda hayat kurtaran davran\u0131\u015flar.<\/p>\n

    Kurumlar ve \u015fehirler, g\u00fcvenli altyap\u0131 tasar\u0131m\u0131yla fark yaratabilir. Ayd\u0131nlat\u0131lm\u0131\u015f yollar, g\u00fcvenli yaya ge\u00e7itleri, bisiklet yollar\u0131, etkili toplu ta\u015f\u0131ma sistemleri insanlar\u0131n davran\u0131\u015flar\u0131n\u0131 da olumlu y\u00f6nde de\u011fi\u015ftirir.<\/p>\n

    \u00dclkeler d\u00fczeyinde ise trafik g\u00fcvenli\u011fi bir \u201cyan konu\u201d de\u011fil, kamu sa\u011fl\u0131\u011f\u0131 meselesi<\/strong> olarak ele al\u0131nmal\u0131. E\u011fitim, denetim ve m\u00fchendislik birlikte d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fclmeli; veriye dayal\u0131 politikalar \u00fcretilmeli.<\/p>\n

    Uluslararas\u0131 yap\u0131lar ise \u00fclkeler aras\u0131 iyi uygulamalar\u0131n payla\u015f\u0131lmas\u0131n\u0131, ortak hedeflerin belirlenmesini ve k\u00fcresel \u00f6l\u00e7ekte fark\u0131ndal\u0131k yarat\u0131lmas\u0131n\u0131 sa\u011flayabilir. \u00c7\u00fcnk\u00fc trafik g\u00fcvenli\u011fi, s\u0131n\u0131r tan\u0131mayan bir problemdir.<\/p>\n

    Sonu\u00e7 olarak, trafik, her g\u00fcn i\u00e7inde yer ald\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z ama \u00e7o\u011fu zaman \u00fczerine d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnmedi\u011fimiz bir alan. Oysa att\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z her ad\u0131m, bast\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z her gaz pedal\u0131, verdi\u011fimiz her yol hakk\u0131 asl\u0131nda nas\u0131l bir toplum olmak istedi\u011fimizi g\u00f6steriyor. G\u00fcvenli ve s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilir trafik, yaln\u0131zca kazalar\u0131 azaltmaz; birbirimize kar\u015f\u0131 daha sab\u0131rl\u0131, daha sayg\u0131l\u0131 ve daha sorumlu bir ya\u015fam bi\u00e7imi<\/strong> kurmam\u0131za yard\u0131mc\u0131 olur.<\/p>\n

    Belki de mesele sadece yollarda de\u011fil; hayatta da yava\u015flamay\u0131, payla\u015fmay\u0131 ve birbirimizi g\u00f6zetmeyi \u00f6\u011frenmekte<\/strong> yat\u0131yordur.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

    Her g\u00fcn i\u015fe, okula veya ihtiya\u00e7lar\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 kar\u015f\u0131lamak i\u00e7in baz\u0131 yerlere gideriz. Evi okulun, i\u015fin yan\u0131nda olan ise neredeyse pek az insan vard\u0131r. Bu sebeple haftal\u0131k birka\u00e7 kez bile olsa d\u0131\u015far\u0131 \u00e7\u0131k\u0131p trafikte bulunmam\u0131z gerekir. Trafik diyorsak da ister \u00f6zel arac\u0131n\u0131zla ister toplu ta\u015f\u0131mayla olsun, ya da isterseniz yaya olun; yine de trafikle, trafik kurallar\u0131yla kar\u015f\u0131la\u015fmak zorunda kal\u0131r\u0131z. Kar\u015f\u0131 caddeye ge\u00e7mek i\u00e7in trafik \u0131\u015f\u0131klar\u0131nda beklemek bile bize g\u00fcvenli\u011fimiz i\u00e7in bir sorumluluk y\u00fckler ve o kurallara uymay\u0131 d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcr\u00fcz. Bu sebeple hayat\u0131m\u0131z\u0131n her alan\u0131n\u0131 kaplayan trafik bizim i\u00e7in ve sevdiklerimiz i\u00e7in ka\u00e7\u0131n\u0131lmaz ve \u00f6nemli bir yer olu\u015fturur.<\/p>\n

    Hayatlar\u0131m\u0131zda bu kadar \u00f6nemli bir alan\u0131 kaplayan trafik; \u00fcz\u00fclerek belirtmek gerekirse, bize \u00f6nemini ya\u015fanan kazalarla ve al\u0131nmayan \u00f6nlemlerle anlat\u0131r. \u00d6ncelikli olarak s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fcler gereken \u00f6nlemleri almal\u0131, en basitinden emniyet kemerlerini k\u0131sa mesafe gidecek olsalar bile takmal\u0131d\u0131r. Yayalar ise trafik i\u015faret ve \u0131\u015f\u0131klar\u0131n\u0131 uyarak kendilerinin ve sevdiklerinin g\u00fcvenliklerini d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnmelidir. Yine trafikte insan fakt\u00f6r\u00fc olarak s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fclerin araba s\u00fcrerken ba\u015fka i\u015flerle u\u011fra\u015fmalar\u0131; \u00f6rnek vermek gerekirse telefonla konu\u015fmalar\u0131 da kendilerini oldu\u011fu kadar ba\u015fka s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fcleri ve yayalar\u0131 da riske atar. Yani trafik sadece kendimizle ilgili de\u011fil ayr\u0131ca ba\u015fkalar\u0131n\u0131n g\u00fcvenli\u011fini de d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnmekle ilgilidir. \u0130nsan fakt\u00f6rlerini bir kenara b\u0131rak\u0131rsak, trafik t\u00fcm d\u00fcnya ekosistemini de etkileyen bir durumdur. \u00d6zellikle trafi\u011fin yo\u011fun oldu\u011fu sabah saatleri ve ak\u015fam saatleri toplu ta\u015f\u0131maya ek olarak \u00e7ok fazla \u00f6zel ara\u00e7 trafi\u011finin de olmas\u0131, daha fazla egzoz gaz\u0131yla havan\u0131n daha fazla kirletilmesi demektir. Her ne kadar etkileri uzun s\u00fcre sonra g\u00f6r\u00fclecek olsa da toplum ilerideki payda\u015flar\u0131n\u0131 da d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcp daha s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilir daha temiz bir d\u00fcnya b\u0131rakmal\u0131d\u0131r. Bunun i\u00e7in ise \u00f6zel ara\u00e7 kullan\u0131m\u0131 olabildi\u011fince azalt\u0131lmal\u0131d\u0131r. Devlet taraf\u0131ndan da toplu ta\u015f\u0131ma kapasitesi artt\u0131r\u0131larak, toplumun ihtiya\u00e7lar\u0131na y\u00f6nelik yeralt\u0131 ula\u015f\u0131m a\u011flar\u0131 \u00f6r\u00fclmelidir. Bu sorun sadece ya\u015fad\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z \u00fclkeyle ilgili de de\u011fil, d\u00fcnyan\u0131n ortak sorunudur. Buna y\u00f6nelik, her \u00fclkede etkili olabilecek bu tarz toplu ula\u015f\u0131m\u0131 geli\u015ftirme uygulamalar\u0131 artt\u0131r\u0131lmal\u0131d\u0131r.<\/p>\n

    \u00d6zellikle trafik kazalar\u0131n\u0131n artt\u0131\u011f\u0131 ve g\u00fcnden g\u00fcne artarak devam etti\u011fi g\u00fcn\u00fcm\u00fczde, insanlar\u0131n g\u00fcvenli\u011fini sa\u011flamak ve bu g\u00fcvenlik bilincini olu\u015fturabilmek i\u00e7in uygulamal\u0131 ve teorik e\u011fitimler yap\u0131labilir. Bu sadece yeti\u015fkinler \u00f6zelinde de\u011fil hatta \u00e7ocukluktan itibaren yap\u0131lan bir uygulama olmal\u0131 ve \u00e7ocuklar i\u00e7in g\u00fcn\u00fcm\u00fczde de kullan\u0131lan trafik parklar\u0131 artt\u0131r\u0131lmal\u0131d\u0131r. Bunlar makro ve magna levelde \u00fclkelerin ve uluslararas\u0131 kurumlar\u0131n uygulayabilece\u011fi ad\u0131mlara \u00f6rnek olarak verilebilir. Ayn\u0131 zamanda toplu ta\u015f\u0131man\u0131n ula\u015f\u0131labilir hale gelmesinde \u015fehir belediyeleri de gerekli rolleri \u00fcstlenerek daha fazla toplu ta\u015f\u0131ma rotas\u0131 olu\u015fturulabilir.

Bu an\u0131n ya\u015fanmas\u0131n\u0131n tek sebebi, teyzenin s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fcn\u00fcn arka kap\u0131lardan binilmesine izin vermemesi sebebiyle sinirlenmesiydi. Sonras\u0131nda duraktan biri teyzeye \u201c\u00f6lecektin\u201d dedi\u011finde, teyze bunu fark\u0131nda olarak yapt\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 ve \u00e7ok sinirlendi\u011fini s\u00f6yledi.

Bence bunu k\u00f6kten \u00e7\u00f6zmenin en \u00f6nemli yolu, hepimizin de tahmin edebilece\u011fi gibi, iyi dizayn edilmi\u015f, g\u00fc\u00e7l\u00fc, kapasitesi geni\u015f ve yeterli bir toplu ta\u015f\u0131ma a\u011f\u0131 kurulmas\u0131d\u0131r.

Ne kadar az ara\u00e7, o kadar sa\u011fl\u0131kl\u0131 bir d\u00fcnya demektir asl\u0131nda. \u00dcstelik bu konfor, bireylerin stres kaynakl\u0131 agresifliklerinin azalmas\u0131na ve bu sebepten ortaya \u00e7\u0131kan trafik problemlerinin oran\u0131nda da ciddi bir d\u00fc\u015f\u00fc\u015fe yol a\u00e7acakt\u0131r. Bu d\u00fc\u015f\u00fc\u015fler ise hepimiz i\u00e7in refah\u0131n ve g\u00fcvenli bir \u00e7evrenin artmas\u0131 anlam\u0131na gelecektir. Kimse evine d\u00f6nebilmek i\u00e7in yetersiz toplu ta\u015f\u0131ma sebebiyle ba\u015fkalar\u0131yla kavga etmek istemez. Hayatta yeterince kayg\u0131 ve stres kayna\u011f\u0131 yokmu\u015f gibi, Yeditepe \u00dcniversitesinde yap\u0131lan bir \u00e7al\u0131\u015fmaya g\u00f6re g\u00fcnde ortalama 1,3 saatimizi trafikte harc\u0131yor ve bu s\u00fcre boyunca yo\u011fun bir strese maruz kal\u0131yoruz. Psikolojik olarak rahatlamak, trafik kazalar\u0131n\u0131n da b\u00fcy\u00fck oranda azalmas\u0131 anlam\u0131na gelmektedir.<\/p>\n

Bu durum a\u00e7\u0131k bir \u015fekilde duygu reg\u00fclasyonu ile ilgilidir. Bununla ba\u015fa \u00e7\u0131kma y\u00f6ntemlerimizi geli\u015ftirmeli ve o anda ya\u015fad\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z stresi normal bir \u00e7er\u00e7evede tutabilmeliyiz.

    Safety and sustainability in traffic is important for every individual as we all use different varieties of transportation this way or that way almost every day. Some of us are drivers, some of us are riders, some of us are pedestrians, even maybe two or all three at the same time. As we all take one more more role in the traffic and traffic safety, it should be the responsility of all of us to take an action about making the traffic environment better and safer for all users, regardless of where we stand in this multi-layered environment.\u00a0 We all spend a certain amount of time in traffic and it is important for us to be provided with safe equipment and proper-functioning of the traffic as we all have the right to live safely. For a safe and sustainable mobility traffic, we should mainly rely on Groeger\u2019s 7E\u2019s in education, engineering, exposure, examination of competence and fitness, and emergency response. First of all, we should educate everyone in the traffic about their own and others\u2019 roles and responsibilities in the traffic environment. Drivers, riders, and pedestrians should know what to do and when to do it. Only when we are aware of our own role in the traffic and what is expected from us to do and from others can we work collaboratively and prevent accidents. We should educate drivers and riders well before providing them with drivers\u2019 or riders\u2019 license to make sure that they can perform safely enough in the traffic not to threat others\u2019 lives. Also, their examination to be accepted as drivers and riders in the traffic enviornment should be well-designed in both physical and pyschological aspects to make sure that they do not pose any threat to safety. All components of the traffic environment should be informed about what to do and what what to expect in dangerous traffic situations. They should be taught about the components of the pre, while, and post-crash phases as well as the factors that play a role in crash such as the situation of the vehicles, human factors and socio-economic environment. They should be taught first-aid, encouraged to wear seat belt and helmet. In addition to gaining information about the events that unfold before, during, and after the accidents, they should learn about the statistical data regarding what plays a role in accidents and the effective ways of preventing them. In micro level, we can try to change the hazard situations in the traffic by educating ourselves about how to stay safe in the traffic and how to react in situations that pose danger to us and to others. We can take responsibilities that will lead us and everyone else in the traffic enviornment into a safe zone. We should start the change with ourselves and our close circle. As we move from our close circle to broader population, we can make a change at a broader level. As for the countries, they can analyze the overall genderal safety practices issues in the country level and provide their citizens with better and safer equipment as well as improving the physical environment such as signs, road quality and traffic lights. In the international structrure, the organizations should make a detailed analysis about the risk factors in the traffic as well as the general traffic issues as well as particular components. As for my last word for the readers, I suggest that we should start the change at micro level and move towards the macro levels when making a change in the traffic safety. We should start by educating ourselves and those around us. We should pay attention to threat cues in the traffic and react only when necessary and correctly. We should be aware of the fact that every step we take and every move that we make in the traffic might cost someone else\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

    Nowadays, the planet moves on wheels. More than half of us, around 51%, commute to work or school by car daily. While the rest use buses, motorcycles, rickshaws, and other modes of transportation. But even those who do not step on the gas pedal, are pedestrians who regularly engage with traffic while crossing roads. This makes the matter of road safety a responsibility shared by people, governments, countries, world organizations and corporations. The goal of safety carries along with it that of sustainability, as another major concern for humanity is preventing the consequences of global warming and climate change from destroying the habitability of Earth.<\/span><\/p>\n

    These goals involve tackling a plethora of major issues. Firstly, Road deaths and injuries, which are one of the leading causes of death, especially among younger people. These carry with them economic consequences, as injuries lead to high medical costs to attempt to save the individuals and that can be harmful on the personal and governmental level, and they lead to a decrease in productivity, since they mostly happen among young workers who commute to work daily, which can hinder the financial development of countries. Moreover, they can be a source of trauma to injured individuals, especially if it causes them a disability preventing them from pursuing their normal pre-accident lives. And if families lose a member to road accidents, they may suffer years of grief. Secondly, in terms of the sustainability consequence, transportation methods decrease the quality of air in the atmosphere, as the fuel that cars burn releases harmful gasses and high levels of carbon emissions into the air that our environment is not yet adapted to naturally recycling. Moreover, the factories producing those transportation means, often yield <\/span>harmful output during the manufacturing process as well. Thirdly and finally, poor traffic control leads to a decrease in quality of life, especially for those living in urban environments, as it can cause noise pollution and excessive congestion.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Despite all these risks and dangers, we still need high mobility, especially as modern cities have expanded so large that they can not be navigated without advanced means. Instead of eliminating traffic and returning to pre-modern methods, we must maintain it, but increase responsibility in all levels of society.<\/span><\/p>\n

    What we must do to achieve our aims is to employ the 7Es in our legislations: Education; by raising awareness and application, Engineering; by designing better infrastructure and machinery, Enforcement; by applying laws people would follow more rigidly, Examination; By assessing quality and fitness of people to drive, Emergency response; By ensuring that first responders can arrive to emergency sites quickly after accidents and Evaluation of overall methodology, theory and application outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n

    What we must avoid doing is shining all our focus on cars and ignoring the vulnerable pedestrians and cyclists who are left at the mercy of the road with no protection. Additionally, we must not design cities that mandate car usage, we must instead design pedestrian friendly paths and grant a rich array of public transportation methods, such as metros and buses, which are more economically accessible and environmentally sustainable, and less dangerous. Most importantly, we must not depend on responsibility on the personal level; governments, organizations and countries must play their part in orchestrating these changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The current traffic trajectory is very alarming. As we head towards increased urbanization, we are seeing increased road congestion, accidents, dependence on petroleum in cars and risk for pedestrians. Ideally, we should head towards mobility that produces low carbon <\/span>emissions, is cheap and accessible for the working and poor classes, a change in road related attitudes and a road death toll of zero.<\/span><\/p>\n

    All in all, we should aim for people to have better emotional regulation and self-control strategies, greater compliance to rules and an awareness of environmental and societal risks and shift their locus of control from being external to being more internal, so that they can have a greater understanding for their position in the grand scheme of affairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Theoretically, on the micro level, we must pay attention to personal behaviors and mental attitudes; such as how much people obey rules and avoid speeding or driving fatigued\/under the influence. How much they sit back and reflect on their actions, regulate their emotions, and show care for others on the road. That would consequently decrease aggressive driving and road rage. Furthermore, we must encourage them to cycle or walk whenever possible to reduce unnecessary car usage. On the meso level, we must focus on expansion of public transportation methods, allow safe infrastructure for cycling and walking, install traffic education from early schooling; such as teaching them to cross the road, and collecting data to evaluate the results of applied strategies and the main problems to handle. On the macro level, we must apply strict laws for speeding, driving under the influence, and breaking traffic rules. Hold factories to certain environmentally friendly and fuel usage standards in car manufacturing and protect injured individuals legally in courts of law. Finally, on the magna level, major institutions such as the United Nations and World Health Organization must collaborate to enforce safety agendas on a universal level, conduct worldwide research studies and agreements on permitted global emission levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Conclusively, dear readers, I call all of you to implement these micro recommendations in your daily lives and educate those around you. If you want to have the freedom to roam <\/span>around major cities with full mobility, while maintaining public safety, you must take on personal responsibility towards the cause. This will not only benefit you, but it will also benefit your descendants to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

    Mesela, olaya g\u00fcvenlik a\u00e7\u0131s\u0131ndan yakla\u015fal\u0131m.

Ama tabi ki art\u0131k otomatik olarak trafikte bilin\u00e7li bir birey olmal\u0131y\u0131z. Asl\u0131nda bu \u00f6nemli oldu\u011fu kadar gerekli de bir noktad\u0131r. Ge\u00e7enlerde eski bir film izledim, bir\u00e7o\u011funuzun izlemi\u015f oldu\u011funu d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcyorum, \u2018 A Beautiful Mind\u2019 John Nash ad\u0131nda bir matematik\u00e7iyi anlat\u0131yor.

    Ayr\u0131ca s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirli\u011fe de dikkat \u00e7ekmek istiyorum. S\u00fcrmek gibi s\u00fcrd\u00fcrmek de benzer anlama sahip asl\u0131nda. Trafikte s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilir olmak da \u00e7ok kritik bu y\u00fczden. \u00d6rne\u011fin, s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilir bir \u015fey devam\u0131 getirilebilir ve \u00e7evreye zarar vermez.

Cayd\u0131r\u0131c\u0131 cezalar belki de trafikte g\u00fcvenli\u011fin artmas\u0131na sebep olur. Di\u011fer yandan, s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirlik i\u00e7in yukarda bahsetti\u011fim gibi toplu ta\u015f\u0131ma kullanmaya te\u015fvik etmek veya do\u011faya minimum zarar verecek \u015fekilde olan ara\u00e7lar\u0131 kullanmak gibi maddeler uygulanabilir.

    Every time we step onto the road, we\u2019re not only navigating traffic, but we are also trusting strangers with our lives. Often, when accidents come up in conversation, they carry an implicit sense of randomness, as if it is something that just happens and is natural. But how is it possible for something so random to claim more than a million lives every year? If we keep up a dismissive narrative for such accidents, then we normalize stripping responsibility from institutions and position road deaths as unfortunate yet inevitable, when this is not true.<\/p>\n

    Safety and sustainability are not limited to traffic as a mobility system. Many families and road users are one traffic accident away from being pushed into poverty due to injury and bills; they overload hospitals, which has a major consequence on public health, and the risk of experiencing this makes them undergo chronic stress and anxiety, which negatively impacts their performance on the road. Additionally, sustainability, which is often reduced to emissions and fuel efficiency, is extendable and, in fact, more importantly, about saving human life. How sustainable can a transport system be if it can lower carbon output but still injure or kill a large number of people? We have to move to include and prioritize human life in the definition of sustainability.<\/p>\n

    Moreover, another major mistake seen in traffic policies, from educational programs to posters, is that the responsibility is placed excessively on the individual. Living in a neoliberal world like ours, it is easy to place the blame on one person while ignoring the multiple institutional and infrastructure-level changes that need to be made, and often, the solution to such situations is presented in the form of educational reforms for road users. And while education is important, it can only go so far when it operates in fundamentally unsafe environments. This combination can be inefficient as well as dangerous at times.<\/p>\n

    Therefore, roads must be built to prioritize human safety, design changes should be made so that the automatic flow of traffic is calm, and policies should be made to protect vulnerable road users. For example, often motorcyclists who get in crashes are delivery drivers, and when the responsibility is placed on such individuals, the attention and scrutiny are shifted away from companies that have their riders operating under stressful time pressures and poor weather conditions. Organizations should be held responsible, and we should redesign traffic systems where safe behavior is the default norm. However, road design can only go so far.<\/p>\n

    Accidents can occur even on the safest roads, and from a Pakistani perspective, these accidents cannot be meaningfully reduced unless road users develop high trust amongst themselves. When drivers prioritize their individual paths and needs, they will be more likely to engage in risky and rule-breaking behavior. Such unreliable and unpredictable driving and mentality render the safest roads ineffective.<\/p>\n

    If current trends continue without appropriate intervention, then we\u2019re headed towards the normalization of dangerous driving and growing inequality between protected and unprotected road users. In such situations, it is easier for people to absorb the lack of rules and enforcement rather than their actual presence and implementation. This encouragement of rule-breaking results in higher injuries, more environmental damage, and even deeper social division. Our focus instead should be on making systems that refuse to treat accidents as random occurrences but rather as preventable violence, and this can be done by understanding and anticipating human faults and errors. Discipline is not the only factor that results in the emergence of safer and more sustainable road users; they emerge from systems that prominently advocate for and prioritize human life, before accidents, during them, and after them. And a lot goes into making such design decisions.<\/p>\n

    At an individual level, making safe behavior the norm is only possible if there is high trust among road users, knowing the drivers around you have a low probability of engaging in risky behavior and rule-breaking shapes subjective norms, and that can only be established when enforcement and engineering are reliable.<\/p>\n

    At the meso level, organizations and cities must design environments where safe behavior comes automatically. Enforcement of rules should be just and consistent and changes in policies should be clear in their intention. When decisions are well thought out, predictable, and reliable, they are visible in the design and policy changes. Trust among road users can only increase when they have high trust in organizations to make the most effective decisions.<\/p>\n

    At the macro level, trust in national institutions becomes decisive. Governments must design and set up systems that are reliable before, during, and after an accident occurs. In the pre-crash phase, road design should be made to protect vulnerable road users and follow sensible traffic rules. During the crash, it is pertinent that the government approves vehicles with meaningful safety standards to minimize injury, and in the post-crash phase, emergency services should be able to respond promptly, and the law should be enforced justly. If such institutions fail to protect, drivers cannot rely on each other, and therefore, compliance collapses.<\/p>\n

    At the magna level, international structures must move beyond solely technical solutions; they should incorporate governance and trust into global traffic safety frameworks. By removing blame from individuals, giving importance to post-accident phases, and taking accountability where ideas fail, road deaths can be reduced and remain sustainable.<\/p>\n

    Traffic safety and sustainability are not primarily technical problems; they are issues of trusting each other and governance. When infrastructure exists only for show rather than for safety, then following the rules becomes nonsensical, and bending them is considered logical.<\/p>\n

    For example, in Lahore, a politically motivated bike lane (poorly designed and mostly symbolic) was introduced a year ago. The locals remained skeptical of it from the beginning; previous changes by the government had hardly improved traffic safety. Within a few weeks, the locals were proven correct, the green paint that was meant to distinguish the lane from the main road had become grey and muddy like the rest of the gravel, and with only short, abrupt boundaries made with blocks, caused the bike accidents to increase. The narrowing of the main road caused traffic congestion, and motorcyclists opted not to use the lane anyway. Rickshaws that could park before on the side of the road to wait for help for mechanical issues were forced to stop in the middle of the lane and block the flow of traffic. Low trust in the government became lower, and road users preferred to drive on their own terms, deeming them as more sensible and reliable.<\/p>\n

    Until a genuine commitment can be seen from institutions to protect human life, which can be through fair enforcement, thoughtful design, and accountable governance, individual compliance will remain fragile. No amount of education, awareness campaigns, or policing can substitute for trust.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

    Q: Why safety and sustainability in traffic are important and necessary?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Traffic safety is crucial because it can directly affect human health. A small act of carelessness can result in the death of an innocent person simply trying to get to their destination safely. Those who survive may continue their lives with psychological trauma or permanent physical damage. Furthermore, the increased carbon emissions from vehicles negatively impact the environment and can disrupt climate balance in the long term. Therefore, we must consider safety and sustainability in traffic. We cannot tolerate people dying because of a simple attempt to save time or a desire to speed; we must do something about it. Sustainability in traffic is also important for making our own future, and the future of others, healthier. Transportation based on fossil fuels pollutes the air and will force people to cope with long-term health problems. This, unfortunately, will negatively impact ourselves, others, and all living beings; the cost is likely to be much higher than we imagine.<\/p>\n

    Q: <\/strong>What should (not) we do for safe and sustainable mobility traffic in our country and in the world?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    First of all, simply arriving at our destination quickly doesn't automatically mean we did our part in traffic. We need to break this flawed perception. Excessive speeding means that even if people notice changes in their attention span, they may not have time to react appropriately, directly leading to many accidents and fatalities. Some things we shouldn't do in traffic are designing traffic only for cars, not paying enough attention to traffic rules, viewing pedestrians and cyclists as obstacles, and relying solely on penalties and enforcement because without education and infrastructure, penalties can create resistance among drivers. We must consider human limitations. They might be distracted, tired, or stressed that day. We must never ignore these realities because the price is death, so we must give them the necessary value, both individually and socially. What we need to do is create a safe system that puts people at the center. Knowing that mistakes are inevitable, we need to create systems that reduce the likelihood of causing fatalities even when people make mistakes. We must pay attention to speed management. We need to adjust our speed according to the road conditions and pedestrian situations. We should encourage public transportation, pedestrians, and cycling. These measures both reduce the risk of accidents and decrease carbon emissions, thus increasing safety and sustainability in traffic in Turkiye and around the world. Also, traffic education should begin at an early age because being aware is the first step.<\/p>\n

    Q: Where do we go? Where should we go? what should we aim for safer and more sustainable road users?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Unfortunately, the direction we're heading is more dangerous than safer. More roads are being built, and the number of cars on the road is increasing. Cities continue to be designed around automobiles. This only prioritizes car ownership and prevents equitable transportation. Transportation should be accessible to all segments of society. The elderly, children, people with disabilities, and low-income individuals should also be able to use transportation easily. What we need is fewer vehicles and more people. We should aim for zero loss of life, safer transportation, and collective solutions instead of individual car ownership. In this way, we can reduce the carbon emissions emitted by cars and prevent air pollution. Otherwise, we are heading towards more accidents, more deaths, more stress, more noise, and more environmental pollution. So, we need to create safety-focused road user profiles. That is, we need user profiles that manage risks effectively, not those who take them. Therefore, their awareness must be high. We need to train drivers who know their own cognitive limitations, who don't think \"I'm a good driver, I won't make mistakes even if I speed,\" who understand that everyone can make mistakes, who have environmental responsibility, who avoid unnecessary driving, who see pedestrians as priority individuals rather than obstacles, and who obey traffic rules.<\/p>\n

    Q: What can we do in general? What can we do as a person (micro level)? What can organizations and\/or cities do (meso level)? What can countries do (macro level)? What can international structures do (magna level)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Traffic is a culture. How we view it influences our behavior. Therefore, among the things we can do in general, we should stop seeing traffic as a fight for rights. Instead of reacting after an accident, we should act with a mindset of prevention before the accident happens. We should try to prioritize human health over car-centric thinking. In general, we should be aware of these things and act accordingly, and set an example for others on the road. At the micro level, each person can obey speed limits, give priority to pedestrians, wear seatbelts, try not to use their phone while driving, and prioritize public transportation and cycling. These may seem small, but they set an example for others, and if everyone behaved this way, many traffic problems would be solved. At the meso level, safe road design should be implemented, including bicycle lanes, wide sidewalks, and safe pedestrian crossings. Public transportation can be made more attractive by making it cheaper, faster, and more comfortable. Speed \u200b\u200bbumps and warning signs can be installed to reduce speed where necessary. At the macro level, strict and fair rules should be applied for violations such as speeding, alcohol, and seatbelt violations. Enforcement controls such as radar can be improved. However, traffic management should not only focus on issuing fines and making money, but also on making the system more reliable and fairer. Accessible training can be provided for this purpose. At the magna level, common safety standards, such as road design criteria, can be established to prevent complexities. Good traffic practices from one country can be shared so that other countries can benefit from them. Climate-conscious and adaptable traffic policies should be encouraged.<\/p>\n

    Q: What is your last word for readers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Perhaps while reading this, we have noticed many mistakes we make in traffic. At the root of this lies a flawed perspective on traffic. Changing our perceptions and behaviors towards traffic may not be immediately possible because we have held onto these perceptions and behaviors for a long time and are coded in that direction. Therefore, let\u2019s try to systematically remind ourselves of the perceptions and behaviors mentioned here and apply them. We should become aware of the importance of our perceptions and behaviors in traffic. Perhaps a citizen we lost today could have been alive if we had been more careful. This is a huge responsibility. Let's not try to comfort ourselves by acting as if we are not responsible. Both as individuals and as a society, we must do our part. We should never underestimate what we need to do. Choosing not to speed today, putting your phone aside while driving, or giving priority to pedestrians might cause us to arrive at our destination a little later, but this behavior could save an innocent person's life. Let's try to set an example in this regard by our behaviors and by reminding others.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

    I visited Egypt in last summer, and it changed my traffic perspective from top to bottom. I saw a chaotic symphony of horns, yelling, and nearby misses while standing on a Cairo\u2019s street. It seemed more like a high-stakes psychological experiment than a transit system. There were no lanes, right of way was negotiated by outright violence, and the human element was visible in its most raw form with motorcycles, tuktuks and small micro buses. It was a horrifyingly ideal example of why transportation safety and sustainability are vital survival needs rather than merely theoretical ideas for a textbook.<\/p>\n

    This trip made it clear for me why safety is so important. Human factors such as aggression, impatience and the battle for road between different vehicles that caused the violence that I saw. These risky actions frequently result from emotional instability (that is very common among Egyptians), according to traffic psychology research. Stress and exhaustion continuously degrade a driver\u2019s judgment in a chaotic setting. The hidden sufferer in this situation is sustainability; the stop-and-start nature of aggressive driving and the unavoidable accidents that clog a Qairo\u2019s arteries leave a huge environmental imprint. We cannot create a suitable city in Cairo, Ankara, or anyplace else without addressing these human problems.<\/p>\n

    Whatsoever should we do to fix this? Accepting our limitations is the solution. We should not keep creating systems based only on the idea that people would all of a sudden become flawless, emotionless drivers. Our cognitive capacities such as our response times and attention spans, have been shown to change with age and exhaustion. We should encourage the use of technology like AVs that minimize the emotional component of driving rather than attempting to make human biology perfect. However, we must take care, though, to avoid the irony of automation, which occurs when we become so dependent on these technologies that we become unable to pay attention to ourselves. An autonomous vehicle would probably be intimidated into a stop by human drivers in Egypt\u2019s hostile traffic culture, so we cannot just import technology mindlessly. It is not just machinery that has to change. If you want to change the countries like Egypt or Turkey, you need to adapt the technology on the streets and people\u2019s emotions.<\/p>\n

    As we look the future, we should seek to a hybrid world in which weary humans are relieved of the burden of making life-or-death choices. We are heading toward \u201cdomain-specific autonomy\u201d such as geofenced transit zones or highway autopilots. Instead of negotiating through aggressive honking, we should aim for a transportation ecosystem where the rules of the road are written in software. In order to allow for the limits of human perception that I witnessed failing so spectacularly on the streets of Cairo, we should strive for a future where cars interact with one another to optimize flow and avoid incidents before they happen.<\/p>\n

    Every level of society must take action to achieve this. At the micro level it begins with each of us individually in T\u00fcrkiye, we must be aware of our own \u201cnegative emotional driving\u201d and decide not to drive when we are upset or tired, so operating as our safety regulators ourselves. In order to help encourage this shift, towns and organizations must rethink infrastructure at the intermediate level, establishing \u201csmart corridors\u201d or specialized lanes that let new technology operate without being overtaken by hectic human traffic. At the macro level, governments must offer high governance quality by passing legislation that precisely defines culpability and strictly enforces regulations, making safe drinking a must rather than an option. Lastly, international mechanisms at the federal level need to standardize safety procedures so that, independent of the local culture, a car or driver crossing a border is faced with a consistent, safe environment.<\/p>\n

    This is my final message to our blog is although technology can help us break free from the cycle of human mistakes, it is not magical stick. Egypt\u2019s chaos taught me that infrastructure and culture are just as vital as the vehicles we drive. In order to ensure safe and sustainable traffic in the future, we must collaborate with technology to give the uniformity that biology denies us, while we supply the regulations and conscious conduct. I want a future that does not ignore the realities of life, our people\u2019s emotions, and the capabilities of countries, especially developing countries.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

    Every day, millions of people step into traffic whether as pedestrians, drivers, bikers or passengers. Regardless of their trust in the system, they want to believe that the traffic system will be beneficial for them because it is more efficient than walking. Yet traffic crashes remain one of the leading causes of death worldwide, while transport systems continue to pollute our environment through emissions, land use, and noise. Therefore, safety and sustainability in traffic are not optional ideas but they are essential conditions for a livable and future-oriented society.<\/p>\n

    Traffic safety is undeniably a public health and human rights issue. No one should lose their life or suffer injuries simply because they wanted to move from one place to another, especially in the technological state we are in as a world. Unsafe traffic does not only cause personal tragedies, but also long-term social and economic costs such as healthcare expenses or psychological trauma of the person, affecting not only the person but their whole environment.<\/p>\n

    Beyond this, transportation is a major contributor to the climate change, energy consumption and air pollution. Thus, the traffic does not only affect the people who have been in accidents, it affects the environment which results in not only affecting every person on the earth, but also affecting every person that will come to the earth in the future. To minimize the negative effects of the traffic on current and future generations and on our nature, we may want to address both the sustainability and safety together since they reinforce each other. For instance, having lower speeds, calmer streets, and fewer private cars often mean both fewer crashes and lower emissions.<\/p>\n

    Why Safety and Sustainability Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n

    What is the current cost of mobility in traffic? Is it the gas price that keeps increasing non-stop or is it the price of a car? The current cost of mobility is too high, too high to put a value on, because we are paying the cost with human lives and planetary health. A traffic system that kills over a million each year cannot be functional, and a system that relies on fossil fuels to the point of climate collapse cannot be viable. Sustainability in traffic is not just about electric engines; it is about sustaining human life; and real safety is not all about saving the current people, it is about saving the future of humanity. We cannot have safe traffic if our roads remain deadly and we cannot have a safe future if our vehicles continue to pollute the environment.<\/p>\n

    What Should and Should Not Be Done<\/strong><\/p>\n

    For safe and sustainable mobility, we should prioritize people over vehicles. In most countries (including T\u00fcrkiye), cars are usually the king of the road; we should redesign urban centers where pedestrians and public transport users have priority and integrate the belief that cars do not have any power over pedestrians. Integrating this belief is important because this is one of the main reasons why people do not respect each other on the road, especially in \u201cdeveloping\u201d countries like T\u00fcrkiye; they think that if they are driving the bigger vehicle they have more rights or they are safer. We also should stop treating car accidents as solely individual errors. Instead, we must design roads that forgive human mistakes. If a driver loses focus, the road infrastructure should prevent that mistake from becoming fatal (through physical barriers or better lighting). After building a safe infrastructure for pedestrians, we should also promote speed management because accidents are more preventable if the vehicles in the accident went slower instead. Most importantly, we must promote and make the public transportation more accessible and reliable; this will not only save lives, but it will also save the world by reducing environmental impacts of the vehicles. Imagine a bus that carries forty people and imagine forty cars that people could be driving instead of taking the bus; the emission difference is immense. We also should invest in electric public transits and safe cycling infrastructure, especially in our country, to encourage people to not use their car every time they need to go somewhere. In certain European countries for example, the cycling infrastructure is so well built that it is usually illogical to choose to use cars instead of bicycles.<\/p>\n

    What we should not do is to continue the policies that favor car dependency, tolerate risky behaviors, or rely on individual responsibility without systemic support. We never should accept road deaths as the cost of being in traffic; the cost of being in traffic is what you pay for your car, not your life. We should also not keep increasing the number of highways or widen them, this is a trap known as induced demand; if we build more lanes, more people will drive. Our goal should never be to accommodate the maximum number of cars, it should be to move the maximum number of people efficiently.<\/p>\n

    Where Are We Going, Where Should We Go<\/strong><\/p>\n

    In today\u2019s world, many countries are at a crossroads. Technological advances provide smarter vehicles and systems, yet traffic deaths and emissions remain high. The direction we should go is clear, people\u2019s mobility needs being met without any casualty on safety of them or the sustainability of our nature. This might sound unrealistic; but many years ago, people using big metal cubes with tires to transport at incredible speeds were unrealistic too.<\/p>\n

    For road users, an ongoing mindset of valuing speed and convenience as priorities should be changed to valuing safety, space, and environmental responsibility. This way, we can create a culture of traffic where making safe and sustainable choices are seen as natural.<\/p>\n

    What Can We Do<\/strong><\/p>\n

    At the micro level (as individuals), we can obey speed limits, avoid distractions; choose walking, cycling or public transportation. We can also show more sympathy and empathy toward other road users. These choices might sound small, but they accumulate into larger societal impacts.<\/p>\n

    At the meso level (organizations and cities), employers can promote flexible working hours so no one has to speed just to catch up to work. Cities can and should invest in safe infrastructure for all road users and most definitely invest in public transportation since it is the main thing that will lead to lower death rates and less negative environmental impact.<\/p>\n

    At the macro level (countries), governments should align transportation policies with climate goals and ensure a strong reinforcement to these goals by legislation. Education, infrastructure and enforcement must work together.<\/p>\n

    At the magna level (international structures), international organizations can set global goals and targets, share correct practices, fund research and support low income countries since they have less resources to set apart for the environment. Similar to climate action, road safety should be treated as a global priority.<\/p>\n

    Last Words<\/strong><\/p>\n

    We must stop calling traffic accidents \u201cdestiny\u201d and pollution \u201cthe price of progress\u201d. The traffic should not be merely about getting from point A to point B; it should be about how safely we got there and how much we protected our world along the way to our destination. The destination was never the point B however; it was always the future of our world and we should protect that future with all we have. A safe and sustainable world is possible and it is easier than we think, as long as we choose to save it from ourselves.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

    Dur. Yollar hepimizin fakat bazen durmay\u0131 bilmemiz gerekiyor. Trafik g\u00fcvenli\u011fi yaln\u0131zca g\u00fcn\u00fcm\u00fczde de\u011fil t\u00fcm zamanlarda \u00f6nemli bir konuydu. G\u00fcn\u00fcm\u00fczde neredeyse herkes bir \u015fekilde trafi\u011fin i\u00e7inde bulunuyor. Bazen yaya olarak bazen s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fc olarak bazen de yolcu olarak trafikte bulunuyoruz ve her zaman g\u00fcvenli\u011fimiz sadece bizim elimizde olmuyor. Trafikteyken bir\u00e7ok farkl\u0131 de\u011fi\u015fken i\u015fin i\u00e7ine giriyor ve bir anda kendi elimizde olmayan durumlar\u0131n i\u00e7inde bulunabiliyoruz. Bu sebeple trafikte bulunan her bir bile\u015fenin trafik kurallar\u0131na uymas\u0131 trafikteki herkesin g\u00fcvenli\u011fi i\u00e7in \u00e7ok \u00f6nemlidir.<\/p>\n

Trafi\u011fin bir par\u00e7as\u0131 olarak kaosa ve derecesine g\u00f6re kazalara s\u00fcrekli denk gelmekteyiz. \u00c7o\u011fu platformda payla\u015f\u0131lan veriler incelendi\u011finde \u00fclkemizde trafikte g\u00fcvende hissetmiyoruz. Yazar olarak \u00f6rnek vermek gerekirse tek \u015feritli yolda bile iki y\u00f6ne de bakarak kar\u015f\u0131ya ge\u00e7iyoruz.

    Incessant honking. Shrill, verbal stream of profanity. Hostile glares. Provocative confrontations. Tailgating vehicles. This, my friends, is road rage. Chances are that you have either witnessed, initiated, or contributed to this melodramatic and volatile, yet hazardous scene at least once in your life.<\/p>\n

    In these contemporary times, road rage is a critical and relevant traffic safety issue that must be addressed and resolved. Broadly, road rage is characterized by the vehemently aggressive attitudes, affect, and behaviors expressed by road users within their traffic interactions. This may encompass problematic behaviors spanning verbal aggression, high-risk driving behaviors, rule-breaking, and perilous maneuvers that endanger road users. Road rage is a human, pre-crash risk factor, according to the Haddon Matrix. My intention with this post is to elucidate this issue and implore the general public to advocate for change.<\/p>\n

    So, why are safety and sustainability in traffic (regarding road rage) important and necessary? Every day, we encounter another novel and a rampant road rage incident on TV or phone screens. These rates keep escalating. Road rage affects drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and passengers alike, and is strongly correlated with behaviors such as speeding and tailgating, which exacerbate unpredictability and increase collision risks. These aggressive behaviors gravely impair inhibitory impulse control, limit attention, and distort perceptual abilities. The internal, aggressive mental state disrupts adaptive decision-making and increases reaction times. This induces stress and facilitates an unsafe traffic environment for everyone. Unfortunately, we are becoming desensitised to it and regard road rage as the norm. This is not a disparate, individual matter, but a global traffic safety concern that must be addressed accordingly.<\/p>\n

    What can we do to ensure safe and sustainable mobility in our country and around the world? Firstly, it is important to understand that road rage is not solely an individual or pathological phenomenon, but the result of a myriad of dynamic, interacting factors. So, let\u2019s discuss some pivotal factors that contribute to road rage and subsequently increase collision and accident rates, and how to mitigate them.<\/p>\n

    Systematic issues like ineffective road designs, poor infrastructure, and traffic congestion intensify frustration and the likelihood of road rage. Time constraints, perceived norm violations, and attributing hostile intent to it amplify negative affect and provoke road users to react. Moreover, having an external Traffic Locus of Control can result in blaming others and attributing incompetency which fosters anger. The anonymity offered by vehicles and lax legal enforcement (Governance Quality) fosters the belief that you may get away with road rage and attenuates perceived social accountability. Cognitive and executive functions are disrupted under stress and aggression, devolving into aggressive, high-risk behaviors that ultimately lead to collisions and casualties.<\/p>\n

    Employing the 7E\u2019s of traffic safety, we can diminish road rage incidents to a minimum. On a micro level, we must utilize mindfulness (e.g., breathing techniques) and adaptive coping strategies (e.g., cognitive reappraisal). It is essential to learn to reinterpret other road users\u2019 faults as accidental and not cognitively frame them as specifically targeted or premeditated. This will buffer road rage and regulate feelings of frustration and anger. To avoid provoking road rage, one can limit the use of honks unless deemed necessary and maintain safe following distances. We can plan the route and time in consideration of systematic delays and approximated traffic congestion, and utilizing public transport when appropriate will reduce road rage opportunities.<\/p>\n

    On a macro, national level, governments must inform interventions and policies that target the pre-crash event phase more. Environments and situational triggers that invoke road rage must be prioritized and augmented to ensure traffic safety. Governments must improve road designs to reduce traffic congestion and accessibility to conflict points, which create frustrated, impatient drivers. Hence, engineering improvements will eradicate hostile attributions and ambiguity. Moreover, stricter legal penalties for road rage must be introduced and consistently enforced to discourage aggression and ensure traffic safety. Police check-in points and visible cameras will curtail the perceived guarantee of penalty. Driving licenses must be issued after administering Psychotechnical and Emotional Intelligence tests, appraising stress tolerance, impulse control, etc. This will ensure that those with an increased propensity to experience road rage are provided with essential tools to mitigate this. Traffic personnel must be trained to intervene and de-escalate these incidents. Additionally, separate lanes must be dedicated to vulnerable road users, i.e., cyclists and pedestrians, to lessen the impact.<\/p>\n

    On an international level, it is essential to recognize and frame road rage as a global traffic safety issue. Prospective funding must be adhered to compile data, research, and constitute interventions that can be universally implemented. Moreover, specific cultural factors must be identified that act as protective or risk factors for road rage. International databases must be established with reports of road rage incidents, aggression-based violations, and subsequent near-misses or collisions. Lastly, the Health Belief Model and the Theory of Planned Behavior can be incorporated into international educational campaigns to increase perceived intensity and severity of aggression, change attitudes, subjective norms, and the intent to lash out.<\/p>\n

    Dear readers, in conclusion, road rage is not a fault of an individual, their disposition, or personality, but rather implicates larger, situational, and environmental triggers that must be addressed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

    Hello everybody, today I want to talk about safety and sustainability in traffic and what we should or can do for it. We spend a large part of our lives trying to get from one place to another, and while doing this, we become part of the traffic as either a driver or a pedestrian. Road traffic crashes claim the lives of over 1.19 million people each year, and an additional 20 to 50 million people sustain non-fatal injuries, many of which result in disabilities (WHO, 2023). Something must be done to prevent something from happening to all these people on the road while need to consider property damage and environmental pollution, and management of sustainability.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Why are transportation safety and sustainability crucial?<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      While traffic safety is about protecting human lives, sustainability is crucial because we must consider the economy and the environment while ensuring safety. While economic expenses can include all costs to be paid after an accident, environmental pollution can be exemplified as the contamination of the air by gases. Building a healthy, inclusive, sustainable, and safe environment for all depends on road safety, so we must encourage road safety in all spheres of development to bring more resources, action, and investment to assist lower the fatalities and injuries from traffic accidents (WHO, 2024). A safe, effective, and sustainable mix of transportation options, including mass public transportation, is necessary to ensure the safety of walkers, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users, who account for half of all fatalities, given the rapidly expanding urban population (WHO, 2024). Sustainability is the most important issue to consider while making roads safer, both in terms of economic and environmental pollution. In other words, safety should come with sustainability, and they serve not only the purpose of reducing accidents; they are also important for the livability of society.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • What should we do\u2014or not do\u2014to ensure sustainable and safe transportation both domestically and globally?<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        While making the laws much stronger is an important step for safety, it must also be ensured that no one can escape the law due to their status. To save more lives on the roads, governments need to recognize the potential and vitality of intergenerational cooperation (WHO, 2024). \u00a0In other words, regardless of power, age, race, or identity, everyone must unite for the sake of security and sustainability. Young people who use the roads frequently can make sure that their actions promote safety, bring their needs to the table, and assist in the creation of sensible urban planning and sustainable city policies (WHO, 2024). Something I see a lot around me and something that absolutely needs to be changed is that we must improve the sidewalks or roads before something bad happens to someone. But unfortunately, necessary adjustments are not made most of the time unless someone gets hurt because of that road. We should not wait for the accident to happen, and we can only do this when we stand united.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Where do we go? Where should we go? What should we aim for safer and more sustainable road users?<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Unfortunately, we cannot say that we are heading in a good direction right now, but we should in order to live a high-quality life as humans. With the worsening economic situation, an increase is also being observed in the number of pedestrians and motorcyclists, who are the weakest link in traffic. In other words, change must occur in every aspect of life, and a traffic system must be established in which bicycles, pedestrians, and public transportation are the safest options. This is exactly what we need regarding sustainability, which we talked about earlier. Security technologies that can be adapted to standard vehicles accessible from anywhere in the world can also be developed, but this is another topic of another paper. And of course, our primary goal could be to increase the enforceability of laws, which are the foundation of everything, and ensure that they apply to everyone without exception.<\/p>\n

            \n
          • How can we take action in micro (person), meso<\/em><\/strong> (<\/em><\/strong>organizations and\/or cities), macro (countries), and magna (structures) levels?<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            For micro level, what needs to be done at this point is very simple: following the rules we always hear and see. We should make an effort to wear seat belts, not play with our phones, know the speed limits and drive accordingly, and exercise extra caution on unfamiliar roads. We make an effort to learn the rules we don't know, and we also review the ones we do know, and share our knowledge with others.<\/p>\n

            For meso level, building safe roads for pedestrians and bicycle riders is the top priority. More attention should be paid to building roads with accessible and well-maintained sidewalks. Among the options available is for organizations\/companies to prioritize public transportation and provide financial support for it instead of offering company cars.<\/p>\n

            For macro level, as I have said many times before, laws that are applied without exception with consistency are very important. And of course, urban planning as in infrastructural changes, such as sidewalks, needs to be assisted in the most healthy and sustainable way possible. In terms of sustainability, electric alternatives can be promoted instead of fossil fuels.<\/p>\n

            For magna level, standardized universal laws and security measures can be adopted. Thus, the number of accidents can be minimized through measures that can be implemented regardless of status or wealth. And finally, it might be beneficial to provide support for new technologies as well, because with the help of investments I believe we can build many useful and sustainable new technologies.<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Born to die\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              As I say goodbye to you, yes, we may be born to die, but let's not lose our lives due to traffic negligence and inadequate precautions; this is something we can all achieve collectively. See you later, be careful and do not forget to wear your seat belt.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

              Esas konu g\u00fcvenlik. G\u00fcvenlik tarih \u00f6ncesinden alg\u0131lanamayacak bir \u00f6l\u00fcm-kal\u0131m meselesi, kendinin ve bir ba\u015fkas\u0131n\u0131n hayat\u0131n\u0131 elinde tutma, sana mental destek sa\u011flad\u0131\u011f\u0131 i\u00e7in de\u011fil seni g\u00fcvence alt\u0131na ald\u0131\u011f\u0131 i\u00e7in emniyet kemeri takman.

Peki g\u00fcvenlik bir trafi\u011fi do\u011fru ve olmas\u0131 gereken yapabilmek i\u00e7in yeterli midir? \u0130\u015fte bu noktada kar\u015f\u0131m\u0131za s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fcebilirlik kavram\u0131 \u00e7\u0131kar.

              Every day, countless people use roads in different roles, whether behind the wheel, on foot, on a bicycle, or using public transport. Yet transport systems around the world continue to demand an unacceptably high price in terms of human lives, health, lost time, financial costs, and environmental harm. Traffic safety and sustainability should not be viewed as distant goals but essential requirements for today\u2019s societies.<\/p>\n

              Road safety is really significant and crucial because traffic crashes remain one of the leading causes of death and serious injury globally, especially among children and young adults. Each life lost on the road is more than a number and it represents deep personal loss and long-lasting consequences especially for families. At the same time, sustainability is equally vital. Unfortunately modern transport systems depend heavily on fossil fuels, worsen air pollution, accelerate climate change, and encourage inactive, car-dependent ways of living. When combined, \u00a0it is not difficult to see that unsafe and unsustainable mobility systems weaken public health, social equity, and economic resilience.<\/p>\n

              This raises an important question like what should change, and what should we avoid? We must move away from road designs that favor speed and vehicles over human safety. We must also stop describing road deaths as unavoidable accidents when most are preventable. Instead, the greater emphasis should be placed on reliable public transport, walking, and cycling, alongside fair law enforcement and road designs that reduce the consequences of human mistakes. At a global level, this requires a shift from vehicle-focused transport systems to people-centered mobility.<\/p>\n

              Looking ahead, many regions are still moving toward greater traffic congestion, higher emissions, and increased danger for vulnerable road users. However, this does not have to be our future. Our aim should be to live in cities where children can travel safely, older adults feel confident crossing streets, and everyday mobility does not damage the environment. The goal must be transport systems that are safe, inclusive, and environmentally sustainable for all users.<\/p>\n

              Action is possible at every level. For example, at the micro level<\/strong>, individuals should be more aware and follow the traffic rules, slow down, use public transport when feasible, and speak up for safer roads. At the meso level<\/strong>, cities and organizations can redesign streets if it is needed, expand the public transportation, promote active travel, and implement sustainability initiatives. Also at the macro level<\/strong>, governments should strengthen legislation, invest in sustainable infrastructure, and align transport policies with safety and climate goals. Lastly the magna level<\/strong>,\u00a0 maybe international organizations can coordinate efforts, share knowledge, and support countries through funding and technical guidance.<\/p>\n

              In a nutshell coming towards the end of my writing I would like to say that, our traffic systems reflect what we value as societies. If we really value human life, well-being, and future generations, we must work toward roads that protect both people and the planet. Safer and more sustainable mobility is achievable and it is everyone\u2019s responsibility.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

              Why safety and sustainability in traffic are important and necessary?<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Life matters for every creature, from a baby to a tree. Every living thing has a survival instinct that aligns with its lifestyle. Traffic is one of the deadliest points. A careless driver's small mistake can cost the life of a person crossing the road. This harm is not unique to humans, many animals are injured or killed in car accidents. For example, I cannot forget that a car hit a cat on my birthday, years ago. Everyone has only one life, and while we need to protect it, we do not want to be harmed in traffic, whether it is through no fault of our own or not. Therefore, safety is essential point in traffic. Moreover, It is not enough to just think about our own lives. In order to live in a better world, we also need to take good care of it. This care starts with sustainability cautions. Sustainability is important both to protect ourselves from harmful consequences such as emissions from vehicles, and to preserve a habitable planet for the future. In nature, every harmful thing brings a cost. To illustrate, when a harmful fuel is produced from cheap raw materials, the gas it emits causes both air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, leading to global warming. Like in this instance, we should consider safety and sustainability together to protect ourselves and the creatures in the future.<\/p>\n

              What should (not) we do for safe and sustainable mobility traffic in our country and in the world?<\/strong><\/p>\n

              I think safety and sustainability rules should be determined primarily by regulations. However, we can take steps personally. For example, using sustainable cars, if we can afford them, would help save the environment. Those types of cars emit fewer harmful gases. To give another example, controlling our behavior in risky or stressful situations is a crucial precaution for safety, especially in Turkey. Because traffic is a very stressful environment, the people you encounter may be tend to show aggression toward you.<\/p>\n

              Obeying the rules is another important example. These rules might include speed limits or require winter tires. Generally, the restrictions focus on people's safety. If everyone obeys the rules, accident rates will decrease. For example, a car without snow tires or exceeding the speed limit on icy roads can cause fatal accidents. But if everyone does what is necessary, these types of accidents will not happen unless there is an extreme situation.<\/p>\n

              To promote sustainability, people may use public transportation if it is available. If people cannot afford a car, public transportation becomes essential. However, in the case of appropriate transportations subways in Japan, people tend to take it.<\/p>\n

              Where do we go? Where should we go? What should we aim for safer and more sustainable road users?<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Nowadays, we live in a capitalist world where people make tons of money from roads, cars, and other traffic-related products. There is a huge industry that makes components for vehicles or fixes cars, etc. Therefore, humanity goes after money. No company cares about safety or sustainability; they just show customers it is like that. I do not think any car manufacturer would care about creating a green world if the effort were not a trend, thanks to conscious consumers. Why would they spend money on it when they could make more money?<\/p>\n

              We really need to go on a path of striving for the good of the world, because the world and its resources are being depleted by us. We have become dependent on water that was generously distributed to mines and factories due to mismanagement, and we will continue to be. The world will become increasingly arid. If this continues, future generations will struggle to survive in much harsher conditions with insufficient resources, unless, of course, life is established on Mars and they do not have enough money to travel there. I think we can at least slow down this negative trend. We need to always aim for the future of the world. If public transportation is efficient in a city, road users may tend to take the subway rather than drive a private car. I say \u2018efficient\u2019 because, for example, if people are forced to go through K\u0131z\u0131lay to get somewhere, even if it is completely irrelevant, they won't want to use public transportation. This situation encourages people to buy cars they can afford, and the traffic problem will never be solved. And this creates less sustainable, unsafe roads. As you can interpret, appropriate transformation is essential for sustainable and safe environments.<\/p>\n

              What can we do in general? What can we do as a person (micro level)? What can organizations and\/or cities do (meso level)? What can countries do (macro level)? What can international structures do (magna level)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

              I think we can do many things to make traffic safer and more sustainable, but we need to do them at different levels. Because traffic is not only about one person driving carefully. It is a whole system. Roads, rules, public transportation, city design, and even social habits affect traffic safety. Sustainability is also part of this system because transportation directly affects the environment through emissions and energy use. Therefore, the best way is to take action both individually and collectively.<\/p>\n

              In general, we should focus on reducing risks and making safer choices easier. For example, it should not be normal to drive fast in cities. Speed limits should be clear and enforced. Also, roads should be designed to protect people. To illustrate, if there is a school nearby, the street should be narrow, slower, and safer for pedestrians. Sustainability also needs general solutions. For example, cities should support public transport, and people should have easy access to buses, metro lines, and safe walking paths. If sustainable choices are comfortable and cheap, people will naturally use them.<\/p>\n

              At the micro level, as a person, I think we can start with very simple actions. We can follow speed limits and always wear seatbelts. We can avoid using phones while driving because even a few seconds of distraction can cause a serious crash. We can also respect pedestrians and stop at crosswalks instead of rushing. In terms of sustainability, we can prefer public transportation when it is possible. Even walking short distances instead of taking a car can make a difference. Also, we should control our emotions in traffic because aggressive driving makes everything more dangerous. Sometimes staying calm is already a safety action.<\/p>\n

              At the meso level, organizations and cities have a strong role because they shape the environment people live in. I think cities should improve sidewalks, crosswalks, and lighting, because these small details affect safety a lot. For example, a crosswalk without lights at night is very risky for pedestrians. Cities can also create speed calming designs like speed bumps near residential areas. Another important step is improving public transportation. If buses come rarely or metro lines do not reach enough areas, people will use cars more. But if transportation is efficient and comfortable, people will choose it. Universities and workplaces can also support this. For example, they can provide shuttle services, safer entrances, and even encourage carpooling.<\/p>\n

              At the macro level, countries should create strong policies and serious enforcement. In my opinion, rules are important, but rules without control do not work. For example, drunk driving laws or speed limits must have consequences. Countries should invest more in public transportation and road safety infrastructure. Driver education should also be improved because many people drive with bad habits. Another important point is data. Countries should collect crash data properly and redesign dangerous roads. If a road causes many accidents, it means something is wrong with that road, not only with drivers.<\/p>\n

              At the magna level, international structures can help by setting common standards and supporting countries financially and politically. For example, they can encourage countries to follow road safety goals and reduce carbon emissions. They can share good examples from successful cities and help other countries apply similar solutions. International organizations can also support research and innovation in safer vehicles and sustainable transport systems. Since climate change is a global problem, transportation policies should also have global cooperation.<\/p>\n

              Overall, I believe traffic safety and sustainability require effort from everyone, not just drivers. Small personal actions matter, but they become much stronger when cities and countries also support them. If we want a future where people can live safely and the planet stays habitable, we need to treat mobility as a shared responsibility.<\/p>\n

              What is your last word for readers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

              To sum up, the world is ours. It is up to us whether harm it or improve it. However, we should not be too hard on ourselves individually regarding this matter. Individual effort is always very valuable and necessary, but we must not forget that it is not enough for the world. Because the gas you use to buy the car you barely afford, due to the useless public transport, won't destroy the world. The system that drives you and millions of others to this is what will bring about the end of the world. Also, the world's agenda won't be about those who travel across the globe in private jets to concerts, but always about the things normal people have to do to survive. You will try to save the world alone with this guilt, so you cannot focus on how others are making it a worse place. Unless we get rid of this capitalist system that manipulates normal people all over the world, seeing greener and safer days will become impossible.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

              Why safety and sustainability in traffic are important and necessary?<\/strong><\/p>\n

              As human beings, we are part of the world system. Throughout history, this system has given rise to different needs depending on the circumstances it has faced. Traffic is one of the biggest realities of the 21st century, and adapting to traffic and developing various strategies for adaptation is a crucial need. As part of this system, we must also consider other elements of the system that complement it, when it comes to traffic, we must pay attention to our own life and property safety, as well as other drivers, pedestrians, and vehicles. This is why we should treat traffic not as a source of stress, but as a social order that directly affects people's lives, the environment, and the future. If we all want to be functional individuals, we must make this area, which is common to all of us, sustainable. So, it's time we talk not only about \u201cgetting somewhere,\u201d but also about \u201chow we get there.\u201d<\/p>\n

              What should (not) we do for safe and sustainable mobility traffic in our country and in the world?<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Building a safe and sustainable mobility system is not just a technical matter; it is the integrated result of psychological processes, cultural dynamics, and quality of management. Training should not only focus on teaching rules, but also on changing drivers' attitudes and subjective norms regarding issues such as speed or alcohol consumption. Because rules set boundaries, but how to act within those boundaries is determined by the driver's attitude and the norms of the society in which the driver lives. Furthermore, driving tests should be transformed from a one-time technical skill test into a dynamic structure that measures reaction speed, selective attention, and impulse control through tests such as psychotechnical tests. In addition, inconsistencies should not be allowed in the audit process; since low Governance Quality implies a system where rules are applied arbitrarily and oversight is weak, it undermines the deterrent effect of oversight and increases the risk of accidents. In societies with a high Power Distance dimension, situations such as favoritism are more likely to occur, so greater attention should be paid to this point.<\/p>\n

              Where do we go? Where should we go? what should we aim for safer and more sustainable road users?<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Road safety should not be based solely on technical skills training and penalty-focused enforcement. Technical skills alone are insufficient to create a sustainable traffic environment and well-equipped drivers. Furthermore, integrating a punishment-focused system into society leads individuals to exploit this system at the first opportunity they find, because there is no authority to punish them at that moment. Therefore, we must abandon the traditional understanding of road safety that focuses on punishment and technical knowledge. All element of traffic should act not out of fear of punishment but out of a sense of responsibility to create a sustainable traffic environment.<\/p>\n

              Future road safety policies should utilize technological advancements to enhance driver skill. Well-planned and constructed roads and well-equipped vehicles (e.g. active safety systems: ESC, lane assist, etc.) are examples of this. In addition, we should be aware that technology can only compensate for human errors to a certain extent, and we should gain awareness in different areas. The driver's biological awareness (sleep deprivation, genetic predispositions), awareness of mastery of traffic situations, awareness of how well they maneuver the vehicle, and awareness of the purpose of driving are examples of this.<\/p>\n

              Overall, Future and targeted traffic regulations should integrate technology effectively while also including the human element: well-trained drivers and conscious pedestrians.<\/p>\n

              What can we do in general? What can we do as a person (micro level)? What can organizations and\/or cities do (meso level)? What can countries do (macro level)? What can international structures do (magna level)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

              It takes more than one organization to create traffic mobility that is safer and more sustainable. It necessitates a multifaceted effort that includes both individual and international cooperation.<\/p>\n

              We need to reconsider how we approach transportation in general. Sustainability and safety must to be viewed as fundamental principles rather than optional objectives. Speed, convenience, or immediate financial benefit should be subordinated to human life, environmental responsibility, and long-term planning.<\/p>\n

              As individuals, we can embrace being responsible drivers. We should obey traffic rules, avoid aggressive driving, and use public transportation whenever possible. Being considerate of other road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, contributes to safer roads. Small, daily choices make a big difference when they become widespread and adopted by individuals within a community. And since every society is made up of individuals, initiatives at the individual level are crucial.<\/p>\n

              Cities and institutions play a significant role in shaping the traffic environment. Public transportation systems should be well-developed, and accessible bike and pedestrian paths should be provided to encourage people to use public transport, bicycles, or walk. Investing in these areas reduces both the risk of accidents and environmental impacts. Furthermore, organizations can promote flexible working hours, remote work, and sustainable transportation to reduce traffic congestion and mitigate risks during rush hour.<\/p>\n

              At the national level, governments need to create strong traffic laws and ensure their fair enforcement. They could eliminate taxes on electric vehicles for sustainable living and adopt policies supporting traffic safety education. National strategies are very beneficial if consistently maintained.<\/p>\n

              International organizations can set global standards. Countries that adopt and consistently apply these standards can encourage each other in these sustainable activities through mutually agreed-upon privileges.<\/p>\n

              What is your last word for readers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Dear readers, I know that many factors in your life are reflected in your behavior on the road. I'm aware of how difficult it is to cope with traffic conditions after a very stressful day at work, how easy it is to break the rules while rushing to an exam, or how tempting it is to speed when the traffic cameras aren't working. These are all scenarios that could happen to us in the ordinary course of life. However, we should not allow them to become normalized in our view. Because human life and health are paramount. Therefore, as all components of the system, we must work together in cooperation. We must internalize traffic sustainability and take steps in this direction at different levels. The goal of having a happy and secure life should be our driving force in this journey.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

              Every day, a mother rushes her child to school, a father drives to work, a bus driver spends countless hours behind the wheel while a teenager holds the wheel for the first time. All of their lives intersect on the road simulataneously forming the ecosystem that the world heavily depends on. Yet within such a crucial system exists a certain delicacy, the threat of one mistake, the consequences of one reverie and the pressure of one calamity. It\u2019s all it would take really, to utterly transform their lives or even, cause their demise. How can traffic safety be optional when road accidents are the 12th leading cause of deaths in the world? How can the necessity of such optimization be ignored when that mothers life depends on it, or that fathers, or the bus driver with his many passengers or even the teenager?<\/p>\n

              Now, this is not to put all the responsibility on the individual driver, this necessity has to be shared as a priority between the system, the people and the government. Any system that is so heavily utilised at all hours of the day brings responsibility on all parts to be sustainable and reliable. In a world that increasingly values speed and efficiency, improving safety and sustainability has become more important than ever, requiring a balance of minimal error with maximal benefit.<\/p>\n

              So then the question becomes what can we do about this public health crisis? What becomes important here is realising that human limitations will always exist rather the focus should be shifted to transitioning to a future where the traffic system accounts for this error and works around it. Putting all the blame on the drivers ignores the bigger picture about how their behaviour is shaped by road design, rule enforcement and cultural expectations. This would mean relying less on reaction to emergency and relying more on proactive prevention. Thus, the goal becomes increased amount of tolerance of mistakes and decreased amount of fatal consequences by taking into account emotions of the driver, individual tendencies of the driver and error rate of the driver. An important clarification regarding this would lie regarding the difference between driver performance and driver behaviour. A driver having high skills does not guarantee their safety rather it makes them even more likely to engage in risk-taking behaviour increasing their chances of negative outcomes. This all sums up to say that instead of avoiding driver error, we should cultivate positive behaviours that help the drivers build the intention to act in a responsible and considerate way rather than internalizing the mindset of mere rule compliance.<\/p>\n

              In terms of rules, policies that rely on punishment without better education, engineering or evaluation, create resentment towards the system that enforces them; meaning that there needs to be a better connection between how policies are made for road safety and what shapes the drivers behaviours. To add on to this, safety itself is also important for sustainability as a lack of proper safety measures can just increase vulnerability rather than truly advance the system. Therefore, what should be done is to utilize an approach that focuses on the system. The environment should be optimised to anticipate and forgive inevitable human errors and emotions and at the same time, the drivers should be enrolled in more effective education programs that focus specifically on the emotional intelligence they need rather than just their skills. This creates a chain reaction to increase sustainability as after road safety measures are taken care of, better policies can be adapted to reduce exposure and risk while creating a trust with the drivers that they must be enforced on.<\/p>\n

              An area that must additionally be addressed is the rapidly increasing role that technology has started to play in this ecosystem. The world seems to be going towards giving up more control and more autonomy to vehicles as time progresses which also comes with many dilemmas. Though artificial intelligence can prove to be incredibly capable, when it comes to a field like traffic, there are simply situations that cannot be autonomised. As these vehicles encounter the choice between injuring the driver or pedestrians, there is no black and white. Although, the straightforward answer would be that it should take the utilitarian route thus saving the most lives at all costs however, this creates a paradox where a driver would not prefer to buy such a vehicle that puts them at danger. This begs the important question of how much automation is too much automation and at what point must we set the boundary to ensure human thinking is involved in such decisions while at the same time, human error is reduced using the vehicle itself.<\/p>\n

              There are conflicting paths that lead forward from here; there will always be increased awareness about less reliance on private vehicles and climate targets but traffic deaths continually remain high especially in places where rapid increase in mobility outgrows infrastructure and capacity. There is simply no denying that active interventions must take place to prevent the increased exposure to risk that comes with increased mobility.<\/p>\n

              This brings us to what can actually currently be done by us, by cities, by countries and by international structures. On a micro level, we must accustom ourselves to frequent self-evaluation about how our emotions or life circumstances such as stress, impatience or aggression may be manifesting into risk-taking behaviours. We must actively take responsibility and intend to act in safer, more considerate and more positive ways such as making space for vulnerable road users, slowing down or controlling our anger etc. We must assess our mental states before driving such as whether we are fatigued or whether we are consistently in a hurry when driving. These type of problems have extremely easy fixes and can make roads substantially safer for us and for others. We must understand the level of control we actually do have over traffic outcomes as taking agency and understanding consequences is what makes us better drivers, rather than mechanical skills. Small choices made on an individual level are the crucial building blocks for cumulative societal changes after all.<\/p>\n

              At the meso level, cities must analyse the phases of crashes broken into what led to them (pre-crash), what occurred during (crash) and what was done after (post-crash) in order to understand the changes needed to reduce negative outcomes. Streets can be redesigned for better flow of traffic that minimises the probability of interactions between cars and public transport can be improved to promote less vehicle usage. Organizations can contribute to this by improving driver education in terms of fatigue management and emotional intelligence training.<\/p>\n

              At the macro level, the quality of governence is extremely important to develop better policies that can be effectively enforced. Policies must be strong, consistent and transparent so that their enforcement reduces the influence of power, wealth and cultural rule-bending in traffic. Accordingly, governments must also allocate adequate funding and resources to traffic systems such as emergency responders so that they can be well-coordinated thus minimising casualties when mistakes inevitably do occur. In addition to this, licensing systems should include more comprehensive assessments of the drivers abilities with more focus on emotional management and psychotechnical abilities rather than pure mechanical skill.<\/p>\n

              At the magna level, frameworks must be standardized across international bodies with extensive research on the most effective models to be implemented. Traffic systems should also obtain some level of standardization according to these models in order to globalize the benefits they provide. Additionally, there needs to be a focus on decreasing the disparity between higher traffic risk in low and middle income countries despite lower rates of vehicle usage. Thus, support can be directed to them to improve building capacity so that traffic standards can be harmonized internationally.<\/p>\n

              As a last word, I would urge the readers to recognise the personal role they play in traffic safety. Traffic safety is a choice made at every level of society: by individuals, by organizations, by countries and by international structures. Though influencing the higher levels may feel far-fetched and though it may feel that the system works against drivers at times \u2013 better choices as individuals is the minimum we can contribute at the end of the day. It\u2019s true that the system must be designed to accomodate humans better however humans must also take agency over their own behaviour to the effect that it is possible. After all, the responsibility we have is the only one we can actively enforce. To conclude, I urge drivers to see that mother and father as their own, that bus driver as a brother, and that teenager as a reflection of who they once were.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

              One of the largest populations responsible for traffic accidents and fatalities are not pedestrians distracted by their phones, or a young driver excited to have just obtained their driver\u2019s licence. It is drivers who are already familiar with the roads, having adapted to the cruel rules which are so distant to the ways our physiological nature thrives in. Humans have been adapting to the challenges of their own times throughout their creation, having early mornings, and late nights of incessant labour maintain its one of the primary challenges to their functioning. It is the individuals driving home to their family from work in the early hours of dawn, relying on the fact that they are driving on familiar roads and fighting off the instincts of their natural cycles that are one of the top risk groups. A single moment of giving in to those instincts, letting fatigue take over either by closing their eyes, or not attending properly to the blinding lights coming towards their way is enough for it all to be too late. This is the reality of over a quarter of individuals who have lost their lives to traffic in certain regions. It is the regulations established by those who do not take the complex measures of human nature into account, and insist on the wrongful sustenance of rules, that risk the safety of all exposed to traffic. In order to omit a route that may lead to anyone\u2019s demise, we must work in collaboration to revert back to a pathway aligned with factors such as our circadian rhythm, that allows us to shift sustainability aims that help us preserve traffic rules and safety globally.<\/p>\n

              Why is a focus on safety and sustainability necessary?<\/strong><\/p>\n

              The risks accompanying our exposure to traffic are inescapable, with this rate of possible harm being present the second we step out of our doors everyday. Despite constant emphasis on the obedience of traffic rules by officers, or a mere concerned parent, we all fall victim to the invisible traps set up for us by traffic regulations and mentality. This can refer to the rise of the fatigue epidemic, the lack of correlation between areas of traffic exposure and our weakening abilities of attention, or the growing number of stimulants that have become distracting in a manner that can be considered life-threatening. It is the consideration of these factors and rules ensuring development in sustainability that will secure our eventual safety in traffic, not just for drivers, but for pedestrians, cyclists, and all those involved.<\/p>\n

              Taking Action: What can we do? What should we avoid doing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

              The current situation with traffic rules and regulations, and our individual and group reactions to them are designed almost in the manner of a loophole. The environmental situations prone to us due to traffic rules lead to indocile responses that reinforce the need to distract oneself from reality in\u00a0 a way that blinds us to reasoned thinking, such as giving into anger or the need to avoid risk-taking. It is the breakage of this loophole we must focus on, through the encouragement of safety in personal and governmental circles, that will improve the human and environmental factors contributing to traffic incidents and fatalities. This development, which ultimately aims to reduce the prevalence of injuries and fatalities, can occur once we focus on various levels:<\/p>\n

              Individual Actions <\/strong>On a Micro Level, we as individuals must learn to adapt to beneficial changes rather than the normalized, destructive ones. This shift will involve psychological interventions and focusing on the alteration of behavior through the use of education and technology. As mentioned, the lack of consideration regarding our circadian rhythm is a causal factor of the fatigue epidemic. About 20 percent of serious traffic injuries are caused by this fatigue (Amado et al., 2015), the risk elevating to the highest levels during biological windows such as 04:00 to 08:00AM. Mere awareness of this fact won\u2019t be as beneficial as implicating behavioral measures through technological interventions. Individuals must be educated on the risks of road familiarity, the significance of emotionality in traffic, and use mindfulness to adopt a reasoned path directed by intentions, during their psychotechnical assessments throughout driver\u2019s training. Learning and sharing such facts will guide them when implementing safe driving practices. Simply following the rules by using seat belts, or not driving under the influence aside, they can even learn that monitoring one\u2019s performance through technology can help raise awareness in their own biological state. One example can be the sleep-tracking apps, which tracks and educates the individual on their biological clock. We must adapt these practices in order to turn into models for each other, encouraging obedience to rules including speeding limits.<\/p>\n

              Actions of Organizations and Cities <\/strong>It is not only education on an individual level that is necessary. There must be organizations & institutions dedicated to guaranteeing traffic safety and sustainability. Once attention on the lackings of individual impact is made, awareness can simultaneously shift to environmental causes. Issues such as poor road lighting and the\u00a0overall design of, for example, bicycle lanes, pedestrian routes, and more, can be mentioned. Roads in which drivers will inevitably depend on in times of fatigue must be sufficiently safe, so that the environmental risk can be lowered throughout the long adaptation process on the micro level. Better ways of commuting can also be related to a rise in safe public transport. It was indeed reported that only one tenth of fatalities, compared to automobile travel, were rooted in public transit (Victoria Transport Policy Institute, 2025). This, along with proper driver education can decrease crashes and fatalities immensely.<\/p>\n

              National Actions <\/strong>Problems with the architecture of the roads, including maintenance of traffic lights, barriers, and cycling roads, can be heavily beneficial. The governance quality of a country is highly relevant in this case, as influence regarding regulations can depend on the manner in which the government allows high-risk individuals to display aberrant behaviors (e.g. speeding violations). Ensuring traffic lights work, for example, will be of no use if individuals do not find laws high-risk to them and other\u2019s safety. Once the trust is established, governments can make sure the initial education gained through training programmes are set to place such a mindset for learners as well. Additionally, governments must implement proper pre-crash, crash, and post-crash interventions, taking measures such as occupational burnout of Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) into account (Heidari et al., 2025). The fatigue of both parties in the case of a fatigue-rooted crash, merely means negative consequences for both all involved. The clashing examples of human nature being pushed too far ultimately displays a systematic failure that nations fail to, and must\u00a0 recognize and evolve.<\/p>\n

              International Actions <\/strong>Globalization of promotions of safety measures, such as regulatory limits implied in the Vienna Convention with over 85 countries agreeing on implementations, are necessary in order to decrease overall accident and fatality rates. To standardize such regulations means to ensure psychological shifts will occur, not only for drivers, but for pedestrians as well, through a reasoned, mindful path. This will only give more reason for government-funded psychotechnical research. The greater the collaboration of human psychology and current needs for regulations in consideration of newer technologies, the safer the roads.<\/p>\n

              Conquering Challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Interventions mentioned are overall more beneficial in the long-term, for both individuals and nations. Yet, there are several trials of this process, such as economic struggles. For individuals, attending and affording apps regarding their biological states may be too expensive. For governments, the research and implementation process of sudden changes can be an extended case of economically challenging trials and errors. However, once maintained, the benefits will outweigh the issues.<\/p>\n

              Governance quality is difficult to elevate, with factors such as inflation making the costly elements of transportation difficult to manage for the public. It is once again up to national and international adaptations of regulations regarding costs of traffic that will aid this. As for the consideration of human biology and psychology, breaking habits such as drunk-driving and speeding rooted in illicit modeling, the mentioned care for psychotechnical assessments and stricter traffic laws will be necessary. Here it can be seen that the primary challenge, once again, lies in managing human behavior.<\/p>\n

              Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

              The future of traffic rules and regulations must rely on addressing human needs, through the various technological, economical, and organizational resources we have. Sustainability and safety are, to a certain degree, indisputably accessible once this need is accepted. It is the obligation of us all to focus on shifting the reality of a situation that affects us one way or another throughout each of our lifetimes.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

              Trafik, her g\u00fcn sessizce hayatlar\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 \u015fekillendiriyor, hareket etme, nefes alma ve \u00e7evremizle etkile\u015fim kurma bi\u00e7imimizi belirliyor. Ancak bu g\u00fcnl\u00fck sistemin ciddi maliyetleri de var. Trafik kazalar\u0131 her y\u0131l d\u00fcnya genelinde bir milyondan fazla insan\u0131n \u00f6l\u00fcm\u00fcne neden olurken, milyonlarca insan da uzun vadeli fiziksel ve psikolojik sonu\u00e7lardan muzdarip oluyor.

Bu nedenle trafikte g\u00fcvenlik ve s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirlik ikincil kayg\u0131lar de\u011fil; insan hayat\u0131n\u0131, halk sa\u011fl\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 ve \u00e7evresel dengeyi korumak i\u00e7in elzemdir.<\/p>\n

              Trafik g\u00fcvenli\u011fi, \u00f6z\u00fcnde bir insan haklar\u0131 meselesidir. Hi\u00e7 kimse sadece i\u015fe gidip gelirken, okula y\u00fcr\u00fcrken veya mahallesinde bisiklet s\u00fcrerken hayat\u0131n\u0131 veya sa\u011fl\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 kaybetmemelidir.

Bu gidi\u015fat devam ederse, gelecekte artan emisyonlar, g\u00fcvensiz sokaklar ve azalan ya\u015fam kalitesi s\u00f6z konusu olacakt\u0131r.

              Hepimiz her g\u00fcn trafikte vakit ge\u00e7iriyoruz belki arabayla belki otob\u00fcsle belki de y\u00fcr\u00fcyerek. Dikkatsiz s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fclere sinirleniyoruz, yola atlayan yayalara veya hayvanlara sinirleniyoruz ve her g\u00fcn i\u015fe veya okula giderken b\u00fct\u00fcn bu trafi\u011fin bir par\u00e7as\u0131 haline geliyoruz. Ancak trafik sadece bir ula\u015f\u0131m meselesi de\u011fil, ayn\u0131 zamanda hayat, sa\u011fl\u0131k ve \u00e7evre meselesi. Trafikteyken hepimiz fark\u0131nda olmadan hayatta kalmaya \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131yoruz ve bu sebepten trafikte g\u00fcvenlik ve s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirlik konusu bir zorunluluk haline geliyor.<\/p>\n

              Her g\u00fcn T\u00fcrkiye\u2019den ve hatta di\u011fer b\u00fct\u00fcn \u00fclkelerden kaza haberleri g\u00f6r\u00fcyoruz. Her y\u0131l binlerce insan trafik kazalar\u0131 sebebiyle hayat\u0131n\u0131 kaybediyor veya kal\u0131c\u0131 yaralanmalar ya\u015f\u0131yor. Fakat bu kazalar\u0131n b\u00fcy\u00fck bir \u00e7o\u011funlu\u011fu \u00f6nlenebilecek kazalar iken \u00f6nlenemiyor. A\u015f\u0131r\u0131 h\u0131z, dikkatsizlik, alkol, yetersiz altyap\u0131 gibi nedenler bu kazalara yol a\u00e7\u0131yor. G\u00fcvenli trafik oldu\u011fu takdirde bu kaza nedenleri minimalize edilebilir ve kazalar\u0131n \u00f6n\u00fcne ge\u00e7ilebilir. \u0130nsanlar daha az kayg\u0131 ile gidecekleri yere sa\u011fl\u0131kl\u0131 bir \u015fekilde gidebilirler. S\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirlik ise i\u015fin \u00e7evresel ve toplumsal boyutunu kaps\u0131yor. Bir\u00e7ok araba sebebiyle petrol gibi fosil yak\u0131tlar\u0131n \u00e7ok kullan\u0131lmas\u0131 hava kirlili\u011fi, iklim krizi ve kamusal alanlar\u0131n yok olmas\u0131 gibi sorunlara yol a\u00e7\u0131yor. Yani s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilir olmayan, \u00e7evreye zararl\u0131 bir trafik sistemi, sadece bug\u00fcn\u00fc de\u011fil, gelece\u011fi de tehlikeye at\u0131yor.<\/p>\n

              Bir\u00e7ok insan acelesi oldu\u011funda kurallar\u0131 esnetmeyi kendilerine hak g\u00f6r\u00fcyorlar. Arabalar yaya ge\u00e7idinde yayalara yol vermeyebiliyorlar, tehlikeli bir \u015fekilde birbirlerini sollayabiliyorlar, k\u0131rm\u0131z\u0131 \u0131\u015f\u0131kta ge\u00e7ebiliyorlar veya yayalar s\u0131rf aceleleri var diye kendilerini yola atabiliyorlar. Her ne olursa olsun g\u00fcvenli\u011fimizi \u00f6ncelemeli ve kurallara uymal\u0131y\u0131z. Ayr\u0131ca trafik sadece arabalardan olu\u015fmaz. B\u00fct\u00fcn yayalar, bisikletliler, \u00e7ocuklar, ya\u015fl\u0131lar ve engelliler bu trafi\u011fin bir par\u00e7as\u0131d\u0131r. Araba s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fcleri ve bir\u00e7ok yayalar trafik sadece arabalara \u00f6zelmi\u015f gibi davranabiliyorlar. B\u00fct\u00fcn tavizler arabalar i\u00e7in verilmeliymi\u015f gibi. Mesela bir videoda bir s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fc yaya ge\u00e7idinde yayaya yol verdi\u011fi i\u00e7in ba\u015fka bir s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fc ile tart\u0131\u015f\u0131yorlard\u0131. Bu bak\u0131\u015f a\u00e7\u0131s\u0131n\u0131 b\u0131rakmal\u0131, kurallara uymal\u0131 ve herkesin e\u015fit \u015fekilde var olabildi\u011fi bir trafik alg\u0131s\u0131 edinmeliyiz ki trafik g\u00fcvenli ve s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilir hale gelsin.<\/p>\n

              \u015eu an \u00fclkemizde gitti\u011fimiz yol pek umut verici de\u011fil. Ta\u015f\u0131t odakl\u0131 bir sistem i\u00e7indeyiz. Yollar daha da geni\u015fliyor, arabalar gittik\u00e7e art\u0131yor fakat g\u00fcven duygusu azal\u0131yor. \u0130nsan odakl\u0131 bir ula\u015f\u0131m sistemi kurmam\u0131z gerekirken sadece ta\u015f\u0131t ara\u00e7lar\u0131 odakl\u0131 bir sistem kuruluyor. G\u00fcvenli bir \u015fekilde, stressiz ve s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirli\u011fi koruyan bir yol izlemeliyiz. Bu gidece\u011fimiz yerlere daha yava\u015f gitmek anlam\u0131na gelse bile g\u00fcvenlik ve s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilirlik h\u0131zdan daha \u00f6nemli olmal\u0131.<\/p>\n

              \u015eu anda uygulayabilece\u011fimiz birka\u00e7 yol var. Mikro yani bireysel d\u00fczeyde emniyet kemeri takmak, h\u0131z yapmamak, yaya ge\u00e7idinde durmak ve direksiyon ba\u015f\u0131nda telefon gibi dikkat da\u011f\u0131t\u0131c\u0131 i\u015fler ile me\u015fgul olmamak gibi davran\u0131\u015flar\u0131 al\u0131\u015fkanl\u0131k edinebiliriz. Bunlar k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck gibi g\u00f6r\u00fcnse de olduk\u00e7a hayat kurtar\u0131c\u0131 davran\u0131\u015flar. Mezo yani kurumsal ve \u015fehir d\u00fczeyinde belediyeler g\u00fcvenli yaya yollar\u0131, bisiklet \u015feritleri ve iyi ayd\u0131nlat\u0131lm\u0131\u015f yollar yapabilir. Okul ve hastane \u00e7evrelerinde h\u0131z d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fc \u00f6nlemler al\u0131nabilir. Kurumlar \u00e7al\u0131\u015fanlar\u0131na g\u00fcvenli ula\u015f\u0131m konusunda e\u011fitim verebilirler. Makro yani \u00fclke d\u00fczeyinde yasalar keskin bir \u015fekilde uygulanmal\u0131. \u0130nsanlar denetlenmeli, taviz verilmemeli ve cezalar ka\u011f\u0131t \u00fczerinde kalmamal\u0131. Yani insanlara cayd\u0131r\u0131c\u0131 cezalar uygulanmal\u0131 ki bir daha tekrarlanmas\u0131n ve korkutucu etkileri olsun. Magna yani uluslararas\u0131 d\u00fczeyde ise \u00fclkeler iyi uygulamalar\u0131 t\u00fcm d\u00fcnyayla payla\u015fabilir, ortak hedefler belirleyebilir. K\u00fcresel \u0131s\u0131nma ve trafik g\u00fcvenli\u011fi halihaz\u0131rda evrensel bir problem ve bu konuda uluslararas\u0131 \u00e7\u00f6z\u00fcmler geli\u015ftirilmesi \u00e7ok uygun olur.<\/p>\n

              \u00d6zetle, trafik sadece arabalar\u0131 de\u011fil b\u00fct\u00fcn insanlar\u0131 kapsar ve k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck g\u00f6rd\u00fc\u011f\u00fcm\u00fcz hatalar insan hayat\u0131na, s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclemeyen sistemler gelece\u011fimize zarar verebilir. Trafikte iken ald\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z en ufak hatal\u0131 karar bir insan\u0131n hayat\u0131na mal olabilir. Bu sebeplerden daha g\u00fcvenli ve s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fclebilir bir trafik yaratmal\u0131y\u0131z fakat bu sadece ta\u015f\u0131tlar\u0131n veya devletin de\u011fil, hepimizin sorumlulu\u011fu. Herkes bireysel \u00f6nlemlerini almal\u0131 ki g\u00fcvenli bir trafik m\u00fcmk\u00fcn olsun.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

              Safety and sustainability in traffic are very important and necessary because, even if we do not realize it, we spend a large part of our lives in traffic. Traffic is not only about cars; it includes pedestrians, drivers, cyclists, and public transport users. It does not have to be a hardship like waiting for hours in traffic jams. Since traffic is such a big part of daily life, it should be safe and sustainable.<\/p>\n

              The word traffic<\/em> comes from the old Italian word \u201ctraffico,\u201d<\/em> which means trade. In today\u2019s meaning, this still makes sense because when we are in traffic, we trade our time and even our lives to reach somewhere. If we are spending so much time and energy in traffic, we should feel safe and use the most sustainable ways possible, whether we are pedestrians or drivers.<\/p>\n

              For safe and sustainable mobility, education is the most important starting point. Both drivers and pedestrians need better traffic education. In Turkey especially, there is still a lot to be done in this area. In addition, the legal side of traffic safety should be stronger and more effective.<\/p>\n

              We should support the idea of walkable cities and make it stronger. Having a private car can be comfortable and is a personal choice, but people often complain about traffic jams while everyone uses this privilege at the same time. Instead of spending budgets on wider roads, new roads, bridges, and parking lots, governments should invest more in public transportation.<\/p>\n

              If buses were more comfortable, more frequent, and went to more destinations, people would prefer using them. For example, if 20 people go to the same place at similar times and all use private cars, traffic congestion becomes unavoidable. However, if they use one bus, traffic and parking problems would decrease significantly.<\/p>\n

              Currently, cities are becoming more car-centered, which increases traffic congestion, accidents, and environmental harm. Although many people are switching to hybrid or electric cars, these are still not the safest or most sustainable solutions because they do not solve congestion and space problems.<\/p>\n

              We should aim for cities that are designed for people, not only for cars. Safer roads, better public transportation, and walkable environments should be the main goals for more sustainable and safer road users.<\/p>\n

              Safety and sustainability in traffic matter because traffic is a part of our lives. We trade our time and sometimes our safety to reach somewhere. This process should not be dangerous or harmful. With better education, planning, and shared responsibility, traffic can become safer, more sustainable, and easier for everyone.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Bu kazalar\u0131n sebebi trafikte yap\u0131lan hatalard\u0131r ve bu hatalar her zaman insanlar\u0131n bireysel hatalar\u0131ndan kaynaklanmaz, bu trafik hatalar\u0131 insan-\u00e7evre-ara\u00e7 etkile\u015fiminin hatal\u0131 y\u00f6netilmesi sebebiyle ger\u00e7ekle\u015fir.<\/p>\n

              Every day, almost all people go out from their homes while they do reckon that the roads that they will use will safely carry them to their very destination. However, indeed traffic accidents account for the one of the most widespread causes of death, and thereby remain being one of the leading causes, yet transportation systems continue to contribute to urban stress, air pollution, and climate change. Henceforth, safety and sustainability in traffic are not distinct phenomena. In this very article, my dear readers, I will be explaining why safety and sustainability are important and necessary, what should we do for safe and sustainable mobile traffic and so on and so forth.<\/p>\n

              Why Safety and Sustainability in Traffic Are Essential?<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Safety itself is a very essential human right, so is the traffic safety as well. Cities and governments must be able to prevent that people dying from just wanting to go to school, go to the grocery store or cycle to work. Beyond the tragic personal losses, Road accidents cause enormous financial consequences due to healthcare expenses, lost productivity, and infrastructure damage too. Moreover, sustainability is also a crucial layer, transportations systems are one of the leading contributors to the climate change and urban air pollution. Not just for the next generations but also for us, the city noise congestion, and respiratory illnesses can also be caused by these traffic systems.<\/p>\n

              Thus, safe and unsustainable systems directly ruin our very planet, and unsafe and sustainable systems directly harm their users. Therefore, we should be able to create such traffic systems providing both sustainable and safe environments.<\/p>\n

              What We Should \u2014 and Should Not \u2014 Do<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Certain behaviours have to be promoted to provide both a safety and sustainable environment. We should build roadways with humans in mind, not just cars and we have to encourage walking, bicycling, and public transportation. Furthermore, we are to direct states to enforce traffic regulations and speed restrictions strictly and invest in smart transportation technology and clean-energy automobiles and moreover continually educate drivers, beginning at a young age. We should not promote designing cities around private car dependency, we shall not accept careless driving or lax enforcement. Moreover, states should not delay investment in green transport infrastructure.<\/p>\n

              Where Are We Going \u2014 and Where Should We Go?<\/strong><\/p>\n

              For now, so many countries are undergoing heavier congestion, higher emissions and high accident risks. If cities will proceed by continuously promoting the usage of private cars and fuel-fossil-power based traffic systems, our cities will become less and less liveable and car accident rates will increase more and more. However, so many options are temporally available, we can aim for zero fatalities in traffic, we may encourage people and city mayors to utilise carbon-neutral transport systems, and we promote technologies that support human behaviour in traffic not the technology replacing us. The final goal is simple: to build roads where children can walk freely, that do not produce unbreathable air and moving from one destination to another is carried out in the most possible efficient way.<\/p>\n

              What Can Be Done at Every Level?<\/strong><\/p>\n

              My dear readers, you may now ask that what we can do as simple citizens. Now, I will be explaining who can do what to provide and to contribute to a safe and sustainable traffic environment. Initially, in micro level, we, as individuals, should respect speed limits and traffic regulations and rules. We should choose public transportation, cycling, walking whenever and wherever possible it is. If we use our private cars, we should strictly avoid distracted driving, must now look at our phones while driving. In meso level, in this layer, organisations and cities are responsible, city administrations should design safer road structure. They have to build cycle roads and pedestrian zones to provide safety to them. They should expand reliable public transportation. Also, they have to determine and address accident hotspots using data. In macro level, countries should enforce strong traffic regulations and rules, for sustainability they must set emission reduction targets for transport and fund infrastructure projects that are promising to provide a sustainable system for our planet. In magna level, internation structures, first they have to be aware of the fact that traffic accident are one of the leading causes of death, after being able to identifying this phenomenon, they should establish global safety standard that would be applicable to most countries, for the countries that these regulations would not be suitable the regulations may be changed across cultural differences. Furthermore, to speed up this process, instead of funding the countries that have already developed a safe, if not, sustainable traffic environment, they have to fund low-income countries that do not have neither a safe environment nor a sustainable one. Furthermore, they have to organise climate accords that focus on reducing emissions and pollution produced by transportation systems.<\/p>\n

              Therefore, my dear readers, if we want to live in a safe environment and if we want to leave a liveable planet to our upcoming generations, we should begin to apply these precautions sooner than tomorrow.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

              Mobility has a very important place in our lives. Often, we go out and spend our time in different places throughout the day.\u00a0 Besides affecting our daily lives, mobility also affects the environment, economy and public health. As a result, traffic accidents are one of the most common reasons of death. This is why traffic safety has to be improved, and systems must be changed in order for everyone to feel secure in traffic. On the other hand, sustainability refers to the most effective ways in which we minimize the harm on the environment and climate by still maintaining safety and affordability. Traffic contributes to climate change and air pollution with its gas emissions, creates sound pollution and consumes land to pave its way. It is equally essential for us to make traffic systems sustainable in addition to making it safe.<\/p>\n

              In today\u2019s world many countries are facing safety and sustainability problems. With the population growing these problems will become worse if nothing is done. To overcome these problems, we must define goals prioritizing human life and creating minimal harm as possible to the environment. We should aim for a future where transportation is accessible, affordable and safe, cities are designed not just for vehicles but for people too and traffic systems are eco-friendly and resilient. A long-term goal can be to decrease the deaths caused by traffic accidents to zero. How can we achieve such goals? Promoting public transportation and decreasing the usage of private cars is one way. Cities should not be designed only for private cars; walkable cities, and bicycle roads should also be designed and implemented. Usage of vehicles which do not rely on fossil fuel must increase and such vehicles must become affordable for every person. Safety in traffic should also be provided by technology by using smart traffic systems and vehicle safety tools. AI can be integrated into such systems, and human based errors can be prevented. Regulations and rules must be improved too. Besides all of these, maybe the most important thing for us to do is always keep in our minds that accidents are preventable and have resulted because of a system error rather than being coincidental.<\/p>\n

              In microlevel, us individuals can start by respecting the traffic rules and regulations. We can warn and educate people who are not aware of such rules and regulations. We should obey speed limits and do not drive when we are drunk or distracted. We can choose more sustainable means of transport such as public transportation, bicycles or walking. We should be aware of other people\u2019s existence, respect their boundaries and be careful about their actions. In meso level, cities should improve public transport features such as its effectiveness, affordability and reliability. High risk areas should be identified and fixed, investments for bike lanes, sidewalks, traffic lights, safe crossings, and public transportation must be increased. In macro level, countries should have strong laws that preserve road safety and apply those laws under any circumstances without any exception or favor, fund eco-friendly means of transport, support research and integrate safety and sustainability into land use and transport planning. In magna level, road safety and climate goals should be set, best practices and data between countries should be shared and international standards for vehicle safety and emission should be encouraged.<\/p>\n

              In conclusion, safe and sustainable traffic is a requirement if we want to live in a better world and save our planet. Improvements regarding these areas should first start within us and then spread across other individuals and governments. Together a better future exists.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
