India leads the world in road deaths.

Unless public mentality is not changed,which will change by continuous demonstrations and training at x'ings,roads and in classes( from lower to upper) the numbers of casuality are not going to decrease.

Police mentality should also need changes,they allow vehicles to travel in wrong way ,direction ,in no entry time etc.,people also think that they will do whatever they like with the consent of police.

I have been to US and also to the UK there they have their own scientific traffic systems which does the job for them and there are very less people who are on the roads in the form of cops...cops come into act only when there is overspeeding and jumping of signals, apart from that everything is managed by a proper traffic engineering system that is in place for them, and even the number of deaths that happens is very less in these countries.

I think we need something innovative like this where we can manage traffic in automatic mode and the manpower at hand can be deployed in other areas which needs to be strengthened..

Proper engineering alone cannot help to reduce the number of accidents. The government must conduct road safety campaigns amongst public. Special training must be given to police officials regarding regulations of traffic with the help of transportation engineers. Road safety campaign should be conducted be the government at regular intervals so that the public is fully aware of the traffic rules and the safety measures which they have to adopt. All violators should be strictly punished.

Everybody knows the condition of Indian roads, which ultimately lead to road Jams, delay in reaching destination, improper speed limits, delibrately jumping red lights and finally leading to an accident..!! So improved road conditions and controlling of speeds especially at night time, would really help..!

...why to break your head?

Be it the main cause or not you are certain to get thumbs up in Too Step.

Else fight with somebody to get both points and thumbs up.

In fact we are too far short of having infrastructure set up in accordance with the population of this country. We need to do concrete master planning for every independent region, be it industrial, agricultural, rural or urban developments such that an social and economical equilibrium is created amongst these categories. Each and every sector needs to be given equal or required thrust/uplift to create equal interest of growt. This cannot be done or achieved by following englisher's guide which we are blindly following since Independence. I am extremely sorry to say we are physically got independence not principally. We had not applied our brain so far in making any meaningful policy considering our base ground. Can you digest that four or five militants can create havoc and shake the whole nation and even thereafter we wait and afraid of such repeated threats. Are we the same Indians of 1947 or become else.

two idea only we have reduce the traffic in our contry...first one develop the road according to our population....and properly regulate our traffic ...in urban side create ring roads to reduce the traffic as well as death......

It is one of the most common morning news which we read while having our morning tea.It is not 100% possible for the traffic authorities to eradicate the menace of road accidents but it can be minimize to some extent.First of all public should be made very well aware of traffic rules.They should be told that rules are meant for their own safety.Public means it includes all i.e., drivers,bikers and even pedestrians.Even then those who break the rules should be punished either by fining them or by cancelling their driver's license.But rules should be followed by all.I mean traffic authorities should also take stern against the law breakers and make an example for the rest of the people.I believe that if We,the people should follow the law  .

Now a days when we travel on the road sides we feel like some insects have gone inside our ears, its so pathetic that we don't give any importance to the parameters that effect human health in our country.accidents are not taken seriously, now the latest addition to it is the increased noise pollution by traffic.

Reasons like unnecessary horning of vehicles, unnecessary accelerations in traffic jams, also some vehicles produces huge noises like those deisel tuk tuks, some altered bikes.

most zones in our country, that is zoned by our governmental departments is critically harmed by the noise pollutions, for example the silent zones where the noise levels to be limited to 50decibals. But now recent studies shows those zones recording more than 100 decibals.

what i feel is that the time has reached to start the designs based on noise considerations.

noise barries, trees, glassed buildings are becoming a necessary now a days to keep man healty. Or we will be forced to see our future generations with ear impairments,

noise is another reason. why people are forced to horn, its because of over speed.

again it results in accidents.

India is losing about 55000 Crore because of accidents, more over it is 3 percent of GDP, since our School curriculu also does't have any lessons regarding Traffic Rules and Regulations. It is better to educate children in Schools itself regarding Traffic by introducing one lesson mandatory.

There are lot more ethical problems in the pipeline we should be ready to face. Prime object of Best management is not to find solutions of problems but not to allow problems to crop up. In fact we are to indecipline & uneducated to even donot afraid of jumping on each other to arrest our selfishness.It feels me very stupid when some one talk about UK, US or else.They first brought a setup of good education, decipline and patriotic values with a meaningfull methodology and now behaving accordingly but we blindly followed the system of 'Gulam India".We need to change system and pattern to achieve morality, pateince, decipline, patriotism and meaningfull targets for socio upliftment then everything will get all right.We must utilise our basic resources and knowldge. 

i am  road accident victim suffered with major injuries by 21st june2007 and have a miracle escape, co-passenger died on spot,since now am suffering with the worst impact. the accident haapened at nite time (10.45pm) due to the halted TRACTOR only on the left side of road , without having a parking/hazard lamp/indicator,(the tractor having a note as -only for agricultural use.., but carrying full load of BRICK FOR CONSTRUCTION USAGE), in this incident i understand ,

1. the law agency must be tough to handle the ROAD ACCIDENT CASES, they should seize the vehicle.
2. since the width and size of roads must be widen or alter in proportion with the vehicles usage,
3. compulsary educational qualification must be considered for issuing DRIVING LICENCE
4. a separate service lane must be allot to have the vehicle parking/break down vehicles.
5. provide compulsory raod safety education at school and college level atleast 15mins-40 mins in a week at evening hours combing with the physical education session .

let we all support governemnt to improve the standard of roads, and motivate pepoles to avoid rash driving

It can be noticed all over India that people lacks traffic sense. Also those who knew the traffic rules intenstionally violates it for strange reasons. This is not only the drivers or bikers but also pedestrians too are care less on traffic rules. All are always hurry perhaps to meet an accident!
