Dear friends,
The subject bill introduced in the loksabha in 2010, if implemented properly, would reduce number of fatal accidents on our national and also State high ways, as the States are supposed to
pass similar laws. Road safety audits, if conducted on a regular basis, may improve enforcement of safety laws and its effectiveness. Right today, road safety audits are done only during road construction. Post construction audits can be designed taking both traffic law compliance and maintenance of physical infrastructure and misuse of pedestrian facilities, if any.
