Traffic congestion or traffic jam is one of the biggest problems of urban India. The main cause of traffic congestion is the country’s public transport infrastructure, which is failing to keep up with the rapidly growing developments in the cities. There is an estimated one lakh motorized vehicles travelling on Delhi roads per day. All this has not only led to obvious delays and jams, but a high rate of accidents as well as increased air and noise pollution. National Road Safety Council has been trying to formulate road safety policy since 1988. Road safety policies were again attempted in 2003 by the Ministry of Highways and Transport and in 2004 at the Annual Session of Indian Roads Congress, the ministry introduced eleven elements for road safety policies under the title ‘Safer Roads for Everyone’. These elements include the overall framework for road safety, safety education and enforcement of the policies. There are a number of initiatives that have already been set up in different parts of the country to relieve the problem of congestion. The Intelligent Transport System is working to provide safe and accessible public transport for commuters in India. Some examples include advanced traffic management systems, wireless traffic signal controllers, CCTV junction surveillance, electronic toll collection systems, advanced vehicle control systems and video incident detection.
