Mumbai: With the speed of your vehicle more than 60 kmpj, the risk of crashes will be injured to “double” for each increase of 5 kmps and on the other hand, if you reduce speed with 5 kmps, it will produce a reduction of 30%.
In crashes, according to a global study presented at a webinar conducted by the State Transport Department on Wednesday.
Webinars work with vital strategies, BLOOMBERG philanthropic initiative partners for global road safety.
The State Transport Commissioner Avinash Dhakne said that human mistakes and accelerating were the main causes of crashes where an average of 12,000 to 13,000 people died in Maharashtra every year.
“We are in a zero fatality mission and there is a ongoing drive at Pune Expressway in the blossoms of mishap-prone to where there are maximum victims because they accelerate in recent years,” he said.
Brett Harman from the Global Road Safety Partnership said that there might be a mindset where you think that “only 5kmph over the speed limit on the highway is skullable.
This is wrong because it can increase the risk of injury accident.” He further said the speed above the risk of death and serious injury increased above 70 kmpj for head collisions, above 50 kmpekan for the side impact by other vehicles, and above 30 kmpt to hit pedestrians that could be fatal.
In accordance with the latest statistics available for 2019, the country has around 1.5 lakh death of the road with 11 deaths per one population of lakh, 414 deaths per day and which means death every four minutes.
Said Grant Ennis, deputy regional director, vital strategy: “on average, compared to global road crash, maximum pedestrian death was in Mumbai – 51% in 2018 – compared with 23% throughout India and 19% throughout India, 15 % In Maharashtra.
Likewise, the death of two maximum wheels in Maharashtra at 45% compared to 41% in Mumbai, 31% throughout the country and 28% globally.
“Death from private cars was lower in India compared to global statistics – with Mumbai It has 4% of the total deaths from a car accident, while the country has 14% and 17% compared to 26% global.
Lievanta Millar from Philanthropi Bloomberg said that there was often a maximum accident at night and there was a need to take corrective steps to ensure that there was the right infrastructure, good road conditions and enforcement checks at the speed limit to prevent fatalities.
Dhawal Ashar, WRI India, said there was a need for a broader median road, protective barriers, crossings, cameras installed at the crossroads to check the speed of the vehicle, reducing the speed limit in the accident-prone zone and had a bicycle path to ensure security.
of all road users.
