In Navi Mumbai the authorities seem to have installed traffic signals haphazardly without carrying out a proper survey of the traffic. Adequate street lighting, smooth riding surface, properly functioning of traffic control aids, traffic markings are some of the ways of reducing road accidents. Since a large number of accidents involve pedestrians, it is necessary to devote attention towards their safety. An adequately designed and encroachment free pedestrian pathways are essential for segre- gating the vehicular and pedestrian traffic and they can provide the much desired sense of safety and protection to the pedestri- ans. Special attention should be given towards lighting pedestrian cross walks and junctions. An effective way of controlling and curbing accidents is the strict implementation and enforcement of traffic rules. The driving li- cense should be issued only after rigorous examination process. While helmets should be made compulsory to the riders of two wheelers and fastening of seat belts should be made mandatory for the drivers of four wheelers. By imposing other legislative BJP Raigad North District President and MLA Prashant Thakur, Municipal Corporation House Leader Paresh measures like introducing fines for flouting rules, imprisonment Thakur, corporator Nitin Patil, corporator Darshan Bhoir, or endorsement on licenses for reckless driving, road accidents Ruchita Londhe, Panvel City social media cell coordinator can be minimized.
