Are you willing to improve traffic conditions in India?

 Traffic laws and street security regulations are day to day in the news with developing urbanization. India has the second biggest street network on the planet and records 10% of overall street fatalities. One significant issue on the Indian streets is the blending of traffic. The same street is utilized by high-velocity vehicles, trucks, bikes, farm hauliers, animal-driven trucks, cyclists, and even animals. Indeed, even highways are not liberated from this malady. This increases traffic time, blockage and contamination, and street accidents.

Road transport in the country is facing several problems. A large portion of the Indian streets are unsurfaced (42.65%) and are not reasonable for the utilization of vehicular traffic. The unfortunate support of the streets aggra­vates the issue, particularly in the rainy season.

During the festive time in Mumbai, more than 800 traffic police have been deployed to manage traffic during Ganesh Chaturthi in Thane. The police have asked the Ganesh mandalas to illuminate them about their parades ahead of time with the goal that redirections can be arranged as needs be. The market and junctions are witnessing huge traffic and congestion. According to the traffic officer, markets and station areas are the major junctions in the cities where vehicles are illegally parked. traffic policemen are assaulted by motorists after they are caught violating traffic rules. Therefore, they urge them to cooperate with the traffic police and avoid disputes and arguments.

In Varanasi, the city which is known as “Galion Ka Sheher” has narrow streets which are always full of motorcycles and auto-rickshaws normally and during the festive time (Durga Pooja or Rathyatra). The traffic police always work very hard to open the jam. People in many areas of the city were jam-packed for hours during festival time, and many more cities experience the same thing during the festive eve.

Indian traffic laws are stricter than those of other countries, but these laws are not enforced. As per one gauge, there is about each year loss of Rs. 200 crores on the mileage of the vehicles because of the low quality of streets. Indeed, even the National Highways experience the ill effects of the lack of insufficient limit, powerless asphalt, unfortunate riding quality, bothered spans, complete level cross­ings, blocked urban areas (absence of by-pass streets), and absence of wayside conveniences and wellbeing measures. Mostly roads get maintained during the election phase which is just temporary and can cause accidents and deaths.

Wayside conveniences like fixed shops, medical aid habitats, phones, clean toilets, eateries, and rest places are missing along the Indian streets. There is next to no consideration for street security and transit regulations are obstinately abused.

Street safety keeps on being a significant formative and public health concern, going about as the main source of death and wounds around the world. While the circumstance could show up rather horrid, individuals need to meet up as changemakers, presently like never before previously. We should all endeavour to do our part to guarantee that we get what we merit - more secure streets and more secure networks, unequivocally.
