Mumbai: Apart from the sidewalk related to the pandemic, the Fatal Street Crash in Maharashtra jumped 5% and a death of 4% by 2021 compared to pre-covid time in 2019.
More than 12,300 fatal accidents were reported throughout the state of last year where more than 13,300 people died, according to the latest data with the State Traffic Department.
Nashik and Pune are the two worst fateful districts in terms of death.
But the silver layer for Mumbai is that death fell 36% to 288 by 2021 of 447 in 2019.
“There are very clear links here between speed and death.
In cities, it is more difficult to increase speed due to traffic jams and infrastructure.
In addition, the police enforcement rate is also better.
But outside the city, the situation is not so good.
The driver said the traffic rules openly, “said Ranjit Gadgil from the non-profit paragraph.
Transport experts show that the highway network running through the semurban area has increased connectivity, but has made them hotspots for road crashes.
“We have observed that in some areas where the highway ran with a village, residents have transferred the road divider so they can turn.
There is also a crash as a result of riding motorcyclists in the wrong direction on the highway because they don’t want to go up too Far to turn u, “said a police officer.
More than 29,000 crashes reported in Maharashtra in 2021.
“A large number of road accident deaths occur due to back end collisions.
To overcome this problem, we must ensure that the highway through the country has a layout area, such as truck stops or road services, “Piyush Tewari said, the NIRLITBA CEO Savelife Foundation.
He added that only electronic enforcement can effectively address speeding problems.
“The ability to e-surveillance to capture many violations on a busy road is much higher than the human eye,” Tewari shows that the mobile camera has been installed at a strategic point in Mumbai-Pune Expressway so there is a surprise element.
Non-profit also suggests redesigning the intersection to make it more striking and installation of speed manager steps so that the vehicle can slow before approaching the intersection.
For India to achieve a 50% reduction target in the mortality of road crashes in 2030, it is important to take reviews every quarter and set action plans, experts said.
A safe system approach involves taking into account human errors, sharing responsibility for road safety between the community and decision makers and proactively prevent fatal and serious crashes before it occurs.
“Law enforcement agencies must act on Speedsters, driving the wrong side and driving a rash because it leads to maximum fatality,” said the Vora’s forest activist.
