Palakkad Roads and Rails is a civic-awareness and railfanning initiative based in Palakkad district, Kerala, India. Established in 2014, it promotes road safety, railway awareness, and civic sense through community engagement, documentation, and public campaigns. The organization runs the website roadsandrails.org and a YouTube channel featuring railway operations, level crossing safety, and regional infrastructure developments.

Activities and Focus

Palakkad Roads and Rails creates educational content on:

Railway safety – emphasizing caution at level crossings and within railway premises.
Road discipline and pedestrian safety – encouraging responsible road use and public awareness.
Civic participation – highlighting infrastructure issues and motivating citizens to report and act.

The group also documents train movements, locomotive operations, and heritage railway sections within the Palakkad–Pollachi–Coimbatore corridor, contributing to railfanning and transportation awareness in South India.
