1. Tamper proof speed controllers should be made mandatory for all heavy vehicles. New heavy vehicles should have built in tamper
proof speed controllers.
2. Two wheeler manufacturers should be asked to design two wheelers with a designed maximum possible speed of 50/60 kmph. This
limit may be decided based on the conditions of each country.
3. Day light like lighting should be provided in main roads, so that head light or high beam can be avoided and a lot of accidents
caused by high beam of vehicles coming from opposite direction can be avoided.
4. Refreshment parlors should be made available at every 50 / 100 k.m. on all highways and important roads. Truck, Heavy vehicle
drivers should be forced to refresh by having a face wash or by having a cup of tea or coffee.
5. New gadgets are to be developed for collision prevention and should be fitted on all vehicles. 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. Low cost Anti drowsy gadgets can be
developed for warning the driver, when the driver begins to sleep.
6. Black vehicles are more likely to be involved in accidents because of it's low visibility. Black vehicles consume more fuel to maintain
the air conditioner cooling, as black color absorb more heat from atmosphere. Hence black vehicles, especially cars and motor
cycles should be discouraged or future production of black vehicle should be banned.
7. The color of most of the Containers is very dull. Hence container carriers are likely to cause crash when parked near road side,
especially under low light conditions. Yellow / bright color should be promoted for containers, internationally.
8. Bright colored dresses should be promoted for Children. Dark / dull colors should not be the prominent shade of school uniforms.
9. Safety awareness should begin from childhood, as it is difficult to impart awareness to a grown up human. If safety awareness is
imparted in childhood, safety will become a habit.
10. Video and Computer games involving Motor Racing should be controlled / banned by Government or discouraged by parents as it
will develop racing habit in children.
11. All sorts of Motor sports, especially racing should be banned by government. Telecast of Motor Sports and Racing also should be
banned.
12. Racing, over speed, highly risky riding / driving by heroes should not be filmed in movies and TV serials. Children are likely to imitate
the same. Statutory warning will not help. Government should censor such scenes.
13. Advertisements by automobile companies which include scenes of dangerous and risky riding or driving should be banned.
Youngsters are likely to imitate the same. Statutory warnings will not help. Such ads will result in irreparable character formation
regarding riding and driving in kids and children. Such children may cause accidents in future.
14. Children below a certain age should not be permitted to do cycling in busy roads and in roads where heavy vehicles are plying.
15. Black color should not be permitted for Cycles. Default color for Cycles should be changed to Yellow.
16. Automobile and cycle manufacturers should be asked to stop producing black and dark vehicles. Yellow or other bright colored
vehicles should be produced instead.
17. 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.
18. Helmet should be made compulsory by law in all states. Helmet should be made compulsory for back seat riders also.
19. Helmets should be distributed mandatorily with the sale of each two wheeler.
20. Ensure that all Helmet users are fixing the Chinstrap of Helmet. Otherwise it will not help during an accident.
21. Ensure that only good quality Helmets that meet standard specifications are available in the market.

22. The practice of keeping the traffic signals in standby mode during nights and on holidays is to be reviewed and discontinued.
23. Advertisement boards and other items that may obstruct visibility at junctions, turnings and other parts of the roads should be
removed immediately.
24. 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.
25. 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.
26. Reflectors can also be fixed on Front and Back of Trucks and Lorries.
27. Minimum age limit for two wheeler and Heavy Vehicle license should be raised.
28. Junctions and narrow areas of roads which cause traffic blocks should be renovated. This will help to save time and avoid over
speed.
29. Over bridges should be constructed at the earliest at busy level crosses. Cost for this will be paid off easily by savings in time, fuel
and saving in lives.
30. Driving tests for issue of driving license is to be made more stringent and foolproof.
31. Lower age limit for two wheeler and Heavy Vehicle license should be raised.
32. Law should be modified such that the individual who causes the accident has to bear a part 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.
33. Ensure that the money recovered as Road Tax is fully utilised for the construction and maintenance of roads.
34. Junctions and narrow areas of roads which cause traffic blocks should be renovated. This will help to save time and avoid over
speed.
35. Over bridges should be constructed at the earliest, at busy level crosses. Cost for this will be paid off easily by savings in time, fuel
and saving in lives.
36. Newspaper, Television and other media should be effectively used for Public Safety Awareness.
37. Road Safety leaflets should be distributed among public by Information and Public relations Ministry.
38. License should be mandatory for Electric two wheelers also.
39. Noiseless electric two wheelers are dangerous. Artificial sound should be induced while running.
40. Loud speakers should not be permitted near road side for festivals and meetings.
41. Life / Health Insurance and vehicle Insurance companies should take up massive public awareness projects. It will pay off !!!
42. All the roads should be maintained properly. Permanent contracts or 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 !!!
43. One way traffic should be implemented on all roads as far as possible. Roads should be widened wherever required. Curvatures
should be minimised. Medians should be constructed in roads with two way traffic.
44. Footpaths and medians should be made mandatory for all important roads and for all new roads.
45. Zebra crossings should be provided at appropriate places for crossing the road safely.
46. Signals for road crossings should be provided at important and busy places where a large number of people have to cross the road
every day.
47. Roads should be properly marked. Sign posts should be provided wherever required.
48. Direction boards should be installed wherever required.

49. Humps should be provided at all important places, accident prone areas. Humps should be made mandatory for all sub roads where
it enters a main road.
50. Construction, size and shape of the Humps should be scientific. All concerned in the Public Works Department should be given
training on scientific Hump construction.
51. Humps should be clearly marked, to avoid accidents. Methods of permanent nature should be followed in Hump marking. For
example white marble pieces / fluorescent pigment can be used.
52. Provision of small pilot humps few meters before humps can also be considered to ensure that humps are not left unnoticed.
53. Obstructions on road sides caused by unauthorised construction and road side sales should be eliminated completely.
54. Visibility should be increased near turnings. Sometimes, even cutting of grass to increase visibility can help save many lives.
55. Low cost Anti drowsy warning gadgets should be developed and made mandatory in heavy vehicles, during night travel.
56. Low cost tamper proof electronic devices should be developed to continuously record the speed of the vehicle and should be fitted
on all heavy vehicles. The devices should be examined in case of accidents – a miniature version of black box of aero plane.
57. Video cameras should be installed at regular intervals on highways and should be centrally monitored.
58. All automobile manufacturers should be asked to strengthen safety standards of vehicles by improved design. It is to be noted here
that in the series of collisions of 200 plus vehicles at Dubai in 2008, only few people were killed. This is because of the high safety
standards.
59. All models of vehicles should be issued an international safety rating number ( say from 1 to 10 ) based on their safety features,
design, build, color etc. Vehicle manufacturers will compete to improve the safety to get top ranking. This will ultimately result in
saving of many lives. Customers can easily select the safest vehicle based on safety number.
60. Union government should play an active role on state governments to control road accidents. Union government should not say that
Road Safety is the subject matter of state governments.
61. Means of mass transportation like Metro Rail should be implemented in all major cities.
62. Road accidents are to be recognized as the worst problem of the country. While only few hundreds are killed in terrorist attacks,
more than One lakh persons are killed in road accidents every year in India. Threat due to terrorism is not being underestimated.
Road accidents are to be firmly dealt with due importance. Task forces with participation of all concerned should be set up to control
road accidents as was done after 26/11 incident.
63. Attention distracting Hoardings, banners, posters, advertisements etc should be banned near roads and highways.
64. A small pool of water or a hanging branch of tree or cable on roadside can cause accidents. Such obstructions will make the
pedestrians and drivers to take sudden lateral movement which may result in accidents. Hence any obstruction on the side of roads
which can cause a lateral movement should be rectified immediately.
65. International and BIS standards for the color of Helmets should be changed to bright colors to reduce accidents by increased
visibility. Black and dark colors should not be permitted.
66. Street dogs should be eliminated completely.

72. Accident statistics should be periodically reviewed to understand the effect of actions taken. Corrective steps should be taken based
on these reviews.
73. Eyes of old driving license holders should be checked at regular intervals.
74. Judicial Commissions should be setup to monitor steps taken to control road accidents and to monitor the accident rates on a
weekly basis.

analysis.
76. Speed should be restricted at accident prone areas.
77. Drunkard driving should be firmly dealt with.
78. 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.
79. Existing speed limits should be brought down further.
80. All those who do not maintain the safe distance commensurate with the vehicle in front should be penalised.
