The National Road Safety Council (NRSC) has formed a committee to review the draft national road safety strategic action plan.
The plan of action aims to reduce the number of road accidents by half by 2024.
The apex body of road-sector stakeholders also formed another committee to recommend the implementation of the electric vehicle registration and operation guidelines-2018.
The 28th NRSC meeting was hosted virtually on Thursday with road transport and bridges minister Obaidul Quader in the chair.
Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) chairman Nur Mohammad Mozumder moderated the event.
Home minister Asaduzzaman Khan, railways minister Nurul Islam Sujan, mayors Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh and Atiqul Islam and state minister for shipping Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury also attended the meeting.
Additional inspector general of police, DMP commissioner, transport leaders and former minister Shajahan Khan, among others, also joined.
Mr Quader said road safety audit has been introduced in Bangladesh for the first time and opinions are being collected from stakeholders for a legal framework to ensure road safety.
He directed the committee formed for the electric vehicle registration to submit a report within a month in order to implement the guideline.
The stakeholders at the NRSC meeting agreed on checking three wheelers vehicles on national highways and issuing registration through standardisation, he cited.
Mr Quader, also general secretary of Awami League, said despite an earlier decision to ban nasimon, karimon, bhatbhati, easy bike and CNG-run auto-rickshaw, many public representatives still lobby for the plying of the vehicles.
All the development achievements would be in vain if road accidents could not be controlled even after having wider roads, he added.
The minister laid importance on developing an efficient management system for national highways.
