Nagpur: A rate survey of the town’s eight streets by Parisar, also a Pune-based NGO and Road Safety Network, has shown the Central Jail street or Wardha Road has a rather higher proportion of rate offenses or driving at breakneck rate.
Parisar researched the rate of vehicles from four towns, such as Pune, Nashik, Nagpur and Aurangabad.
Of those 34 streets surveyed in those towns, 26 experienced a rate breach of 60 percent or greater, together with 5 showing 90 percent or vehicles exceeding the rate limit.
Back in Nagpur, the group surveyed eight streets — High street road (Palm street ), Central Jail Road (Wardha Road), Amravati Road, Wardha Road close Chhatrapati Chowk, Hingna Road, Futala Lake Road and also Katol Road.
The poll was completed through the morning, day and nighttime hours.
The group tracked and analyzed 7,560 vehicles on such streets in December 2020.
The vehicles included 65 percent two-wheelers, 28 percent four-wheelers, 5 percent autorickshaws and 2 percent heavy cars.
The poll discovered that Central Jail Road was the maximum proportion of violations (87 percent ), whereas in Maharajbagh Road, it had been just 30 percent.
The rest of the streets saw rate offenses in the array of 50 percent to 71 percent.
Six from 8 streets showed greater rate in the evenings, while both signaled the exact same in the afternoons.
Additionally, four-wheelers were pushed at higher rates on 6 from 8 streets, with just Maharajbagh Road having quicker two-wheelers along with Raj Bhavan Road with heavy vehicles using a greater rate.
“We discovered that in the early hours, the rate will be greater at 77 percent, with 46 percent of vehicles moving over the limited speed limit compared to 32 percent at nighttime,”said Sandeep Gaikwad, senior researcher partner of Parisar.
Gaikwad clarified that speeding was among the significant causes of road injuries.
However, the authorities agencies never thought of it as a critical problem but primarily concentrated on enforcing rules such as sporting helmets, with seat belts, controlling wrong side driving etc..
The agencies seldom launched any push to apply pace rules and make consciousness thereof, ” he pointed out.
“We ran the pace poll and we will satisfy the Maharashtra director general of authorities and enforce our findings,” he explained, adding,”Our attention is really always to curtail injuries because of speeding.”
