RD crashed into death rising to the mother after Lockdown Lull

Mumbai: road accidents and deaths on city streets have taken again this year after the break during the locking 2020.
Death due to an accident dipped by 39% from 233 in January-June 2019 to 141 in the same period in 2020.
But in six months First in 2021, the number of death crashes rose to 159-A 13% upswing – enforcement which attributes agencies to pedestrian movements and higher vehicles compared to full locking.
With the increase in the need for social distance, limited train trips, and a sustainable pandemic crisis, Mumbai must make a conscious effort to promote a mode shift to run and cycling, instead of prioritizing the car, experts said.
“With the increase in private vehicles on Post-Lockdown Street, it is very important that Mumbai adopted electronic enforcement for violators.
Another challenge is that the revised traffic penalty has not been implemented in Maharashtra,” Piyush Tewari’s Safety Expert said.
According to police data, non-fatal accidents have jumped by 41% from 673 in January-June 2020 to 946 this year.
The road accident imposes severe economic burdens to survivors, especially for low-income groups.
The latest World Bank report shows that financial losses for the poor amounted to more than seven months of household income, while it is equivalent to less than one month’s income for rich households.
“Good Street Design is the best tool for upholding safe speed and reducing crashes.
Mumbai can begin to expand pedestrian infrastructure through simple steps such as broadest sidewalk extensions and sidewalks that not only allow more space for social distance, but also improve Visibility for all road users, “said the urban designer Abhimanyu Prakash, who has worked on safer projects.
Under the BLOOMBERG initiative for global road safety.
“Worldover City began investing more in public transport by increasing the number of buses and frequency.
Using school buses while schools remain closed are also a great way to improve bus services,” he added.
With locking easing, Delhi also saw a surge in the fatality this year.
The government has begun training the police in basic trauma treatment skills to provide care in place for victims, and train bus drivers.
“The ambulance response time is being carried out from 55 minutes to 20,” said Tewari, whose NGOs partnered with administration.
“Bogota, London and Paris are examples of how urban mobility is thought back with a quick launch of low-cost Walk-ing and cycling infrastructure.
Cities such as Kochi and Bengaluru create a better path and the cycle path that can be learned by Mumbai,” said Arnab Bandyopadhyay, major transportation specialist with the World Bank.
