Agree with the findings of the study.
But have they taken into consideration the following facts? I've found them to be a big factor in Kerala roads, and wouldn't be much different in other states.
(1) Unmarked, unlit, potholed roads.
(2) Unscientifically built speed-breakers.
(3) Bus-halts right in the middle of busy roads.
(4) State cars flouting all known traffic rules.
(5) Ramshackle ST buses with bits and pieces falling off.
(6) Malfunctioning traffic signals.
(7) Un-announced and unmarked impromtu repair works on busy roads, causing death-trap-like potholes. |
