National Traffic Safety Committee

The National Traffic Safety Committee is a government body typically established to develop and oversee policies aimed at reducing traffic accidents and improving road safety.

For example, in Vietnam, the National Traffic Safety Committee was officially formed in 1995 to coordinate a nationwide response to a severe traffic accident crisis.
