Dr. Mohan suggests that in order to tackle the traffic and road safety problems, the government first needs to set up a department on road safety at the national level. “Till date, the government has not established a single department on road safety. There is not a single job for road safety specialists in India,” argues Dr. Mohan.
Professor Geetam Tiwari of Transport Research and Injury Prevention Programme, IIT Delhi, in her research paper ‘Towards A Sustainable Urban Transport System’ has already highlights the need to segregate the pedestrians from motorized and non-motorised modes of transport for safe and convenient transportation. “If infrastructure design does not meet the requirements of these three, all modes of transport operate in sub-optimal conditions. It is possible to redesign existing roads to provide a safe and convenient environment for non-motorised modes of transport. This also results in the improved efficiency of public transport vehicles and an enhanced capacity of the transport corridor when measured in number of passengers per hour per lane,” highlights Tiwari.
