Road Safety Measures for Norouz Holiday Season

The Traffic Police has envisaged measures to make road trips safer during the upcoming Norouz holidays. Plans include deploying extra officers throughout the country and establishing emergency response centers.
Norouz, the Persian New Year, holidays (March 20-April 2), is the main extended holiday season in Iran when many people hit the roads to meet family and friends.
The disturbing side is that during the annual travel season hundreds of lives are cut short due to road accidents. To curb the outrageously high road mortality rates the Traffic Police implements preventive measures.
