India has the second largest road network in the
world with over 3 million km of roads of which 60% are paved. These
roads make a vital contribution to the India's economy. On the whole,
the facilities for the road users are not up to the mark, leading
to a high toll of the death victims. Recently, there is a growing
concern over the road crash problem.
With the advancement of technology, the most developed
projects undertaken along with the real estate are the massive road
building projects. But while new roads are being built, faster and
faster automobiles are being invented in high numbers making road
safety a crucial question.
Road safety is emerging as a major social concern in the country.
The statistics are mind boggling with an average mortality rate of
100,000 persons dying in road accidents.
