Problem

Road accidents continue to be a major public safety concern in India, with thousands of people losing their lives or suffering serious injuries every year. Factors such as poor road conditions, inadequate signage, speeding, reckless driving, lack of pedestrian facilities, and insufficient enforcement of traffic rules contribute to accidents on highways and major roads. These incidents not only cause loss of life but also place a significant social and economic burden on families and communities.

Proposed Solution

The government should strengthen road safety measures by improving highway infrastructure, repairing damaged roads, installing proper signage and street lighting, increasing traffic law enforcement, deploying speed-monitoring systems, creating safer pedestrian crossings, and conducting public awareness campaigns on road safety.
