preventing Road Accidentspreventing Road Accidents
Most important method to bring
down accidents is strict
enforcement of speed limits.
90 % of accidents can be avoided
by strict enforcement of speed
limits.
Existing speed limits should be
brought down further.

How to prevent Road AccidentsHow to prevent Road Accidents
Heavy Penalty should be imposed
on ALL those who cross speed
limits. If this is strictly
implemented, nobody will dare to
go at high speed.
Heavy penalty should be imposed
for those who cause accidents.

Tamper proof speed controllers
should be made mandatory for all
heavy vehicles. New heavy
vehicles should have built in
tamper proof speed controllers.

Two wheeler manufacturers
should be asked to design two
wheelers with a designed
maximum speed of (say) 50/60
kmph.
( Suitable speed limit may be
selected for each country.)

 New gadgets are to be developed for
collision prevention and should be
fitted on all vehicle. Research
organizations should be asked to
develop such gadgets on a war
footing. For example, gadgets can be
developed to automatically slow down
the vehicle, if safe distance
commensurate with the speed of the
vehicle in front is not maintained.

Diving tests for issue of Driving
license is to be made more
stringent and foolproof.
Raising of lower age limit for two
wheeler and Heavy Vehicle
license to 21.

Helmet should be made
compulsory by law in all states,
OR impose a lower speed limit for
those who do not use helmet.
Helmet should be made
compulsory for back seat riders
also.

Ensure that all Helmet users are
fixing the Chinstrap of Helmet.
Otherwise it will not help during an
accident.
Ensure that ONLY good quality
Helmets are available in the market.
Strict enforcement of existing traffic
rules.

Law should be modified such that
the person who made the accident
has to bear (say) 0 to 10 % of the
insurance claims, depending on
severity of negligence. Also the
compensations should be made
very huge, making accidents
unaffordable so that everyone will
be very vigilant.

All those who do not maintain the
safe distance for the speed
should be punished.

Safety awareness should begin
from childhood, as it is difficult to
impart awareness to a grown up a
human. If safety awareness is
imparted at childhood, safety will
be a habit.

Video / Computer Games that
simulate Racing should be
banned by Government OR
discouraged by parents as it will
develop racing habit in children.

All sorts of Motor sports
especially racing should be
banned by government. Telecast
of Motor Sports and Racing also
should be banned.

Racing and over speed / highly
risky riding, driving by Heroes
should not be filmed in cinemas
and TV serials. Government
should censor such scenes.

Children below a certain age
should not be permitted to do
cycling in busy roads / roads
where heavy vehicles are plying.

Refreshment parlors should be
made available at (say) every 50
/ 100 k.m. on all national
highways and truck / heavy
vehicle drivers should be forced
to refresh by having a face wash
or by having a cup of tea / coffee.

The current practice of keeping
the traffic signals in standby
mode during nights and on
holidays is to be reviewed and
discontinued if found prudent.

Advertisement boards and other
items that may obstruct visibility
at junctions, curvatures and other
parts of the roads should be
removed immediately.

Ensure that the money recovered
as Road Tax is fully utilised for
the construction /maintenance of
roads.

Time Punching of Private buses
(practiced in some states) should
be discontinued as it is forcing
the drivers to go at high speed,
after traffic blocks.

TV and other media should be
effectively used for Public safety
awareness.
Scientific analysis of major
accidents / accident prone areas.
Restriction of speed at accident
prone areas.

Enactment of stringent traffic
rules.
Immediate suspension of license
of those who are involved the
accidents, at least until they
prove that they are not guilty.
Cancellation of license of those
who make serious accidents.

Proper maintenance of roads.
Permanent contracts /
arrangements should be in place
for maintaining all roads in good
condition 24 hours a day, 365
days an year. If a gutter is
repaired in time it can save a
life !!!

Strict enforcement of health of
vehicles.
Periodic eye testing of old aged
driving license holders.
Immediate cancellation of license
of drunkard drivers / riders.

Setting up of Judicial
Commissions to monitor steps
taken to control road accidents.
Straightening / Widening of
roads, Implementation of one way
traffic and construction of
medians.

Footpaths and medians should be
made mandatory for important
roads.
Zebra crossings should be
provided for pedestrians for safe
road crossings at appropriate
places.

Signals for road crossings at
important busy places where a
large number of people have to
cross the road everyday.
Proper marking of roads and
signals.

 Humps should be provided at all
important places, accident prone
areas.
 Construction, size and shape of the
Humps be scientific. All the
Contractors of the Public Works /
Other departments should be provided
with the details of scientific Hump
construction

Humps should be clearly marked, to
avoid accidents. Methods of
permanent nature should be
followed in Hump marking. For
example white marble pieces / white
color / fluorescent pigment can be
included in the mixture ( if
scientifically correct).

Provision of small pilot humps
few meters before humps can
also be considered to ensure that
humps are not left unnoticed.
Elimination of obstructions on
road sides, caused by
unauthorised construction / road
side sales.

Increasing visibility near
curvatures. Sometimes even
cutting of grass to increase
visibility can help save many
lives.

Road Safety Day / Road Safety
Week should be observed in all
Schools, every year.
Competitions on Road Safety
Tips, Slogans, Essay, Painting
etc should be conducted for
various categories of students.

School Buses should be painted
with Bright Yellow color.
Let ‘Road Safety’ be a mandatory
topic for School Projects for all
classes, every year.

 A small pool of water or a hanging
branch of tree on roadsides can cause
accident, as such obstructions will
make the pedestrians / drivers to take
sudden LATERAL movement and
result in accidents. Hence any
obstruction on road sides which can
cause a LATERAL movement should
be completely rectified timely.

Black color should not be
permitted for Cycles. Preferred /
Default color for Cycles should be
Yellow.

Front and Back of Lorries and
Trucks should be painted with
bright Yellow color to increase
visibility. This will help to prevent
collisions while Lorries and
Trucks are parked on roadside
without parking lights switched
on.

Reflectors should be fixed on
Front and Back of Trucks and
Lorries.
Periodic review of accident
statistics to understand the effect
of actions taken. Corrective steps
should be taken based on these
reviews.
