6.1Road Transportation
Preparation of Sub Regional Plan for Haryana Sub-Region of NCR-2021: Interim Report -II Chapter 6 : TRANSPORTATION 6.1 Road Transportation Since the formation of Haryana state, there has been a significant growth in the road transportation sector of Haryana. As on year 2001, around 23, 000 km of roads connect to villages and cities in Haryana state and with its neighbor states. At present more than 99.88 percentages of villages are connected by metalled roads and road density is around 63.8 km per 100 sq. km area. Length of different types of roads in Haryana State is as follows: National Highways : 1,346 km State Highways : 2,559 km Major District Roads : 1,569 km Other Distt. & village roads : 14,730 km Other roads : 2,852 km Source: Statistical Abstract Haryana, 2006-07 However, economic development in the state is taking place at very higher rate in comparison to other states of India. This is the reason for large density of vehicles on these available roads. As per the information available for the year 2003-2004, about 5763 motor vehicles accommodated within 100 square kilometer of area. Though, the registered number of vehicles as on 31st march 2004 were 25, 47,910, in actual about 28, 53,667 number of motor vehicles traveled on roads of Haryana sate. This shows that a significant percentage of through traffic passes through Haryana state. This large volume of traffic may cause road accidents which results in huge loss of economy and human resources, if proper transportation facilities are not provided. -

The altitude of Haryana varies between 700 ft and 3600 ft. above sea level. With 44,212 sq km, Haryana covers 1.34% of India's geographical area and is home to 2.53 crore people (as per Census-2011) that is, 48.58 lakh households (30.44 lakh rural plus 18.14 lakh urban) comprising 2.9% of India's population.

Road Traffic Accidents: Development's Collateral Damage and a Major
DOI Number: 10.5958/0974-1283.2019.00192.0 Road Traffic Accidents: Development’s Collateral Damage and a Major Public Health and Economic Concern Lena Ashok1, Zinnia Sharma2, Trupti Kambe Zodge3, Pranav V4, Namesh Malarout5, Alric D’Souza6, Sagarika Kamath7 1Associate Professor, 2Intern, Public Health Evidence South Asia, Prasanna School of Public Health, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Karnataka, India, 3Manager, Clinical Services, Sapphire Hospitals Private Limited Thane, 4Project Coordinator, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kochi, Kerala, 5Scholar, Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal Karnataka, 6Assistant Professor, Prasanna School of Public Health, Manipal academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Karnataka, India, 7Assistant Professor, School of Management, Manipal Academy of Higher Education Abstract Road construction is viewed as a core development activity.The unfortunate downside of this is the increasing burden of Road traffic Injuries(RTIs). 50 years ago, the WHO was called upon to do something about the heavy human toll of RTIs. However, RTIs remain a very significant contributor to human morbidity and mortality. It is significant to note that the burden of RTIs has shifted to low and middle income countries (LMICs), which despite having only about 50% of the world’s motor vehicles, account for 90% of the burden of 12.5 lakh road traffic deaths and 2 to 5 crore non fatal road traffic injuries. UN Sustainable development goal (SDG) target 3.6 is to reduce by 50% the number of deaths and injuries from road traffic crashes across the globe by 2020.This implies the saving of 50 lakh lives,the prevention of 5 crore serious injuries, and an economic benefit to the tune of over US$3 trillion.This is a major challenge. -
