Ganesh S	Indians, with one of the lowest automotive ownership in the world,have the most accidents:about one lakh killed every year,plus unknown number of mutilated,paralysed or wounded victims.It's a slaughter.Nobody seems to care,no belt,no helmet,let's have fun with our new toys! I believe that people who can afford to fill up a tank with petrol,should be hit at the wallet:fines,confiscation of vehicules,increase of insurance premiums,etc... Serious offenders,hit-and-run cases should face a jail term. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

shrutip	According 2 me, indians truly follow when their close friends & people also follow . This turns up into a bigger circle of people following the rules.The question is tht the rules for traffic r laid but Indians r tempted 2 breach them iff there is no one 2 take care abt the strict following of rules. According to me fines shld b collected Even the hoardings meant for Traffic rules should'nt be misused for other purposes, this poses a hurdle in creating awareness among the Indians following the Traffic Rules.

neha v	First of all, the condition of roads should be improved so that people are able to reach their destination on time. Moreover, heavy fine or just putting them into jail, or taking away their vehicle can also work wonders to inculcate some road sense in Indians. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

plain t	To follow the rules and to gain any sense should be taught in childhood schools and at homes by parents. There should be easy and simple rules with tough punishments for violation UNLIKE in India where we have very complicated and tough rules(some date back to between 1801 to 1947 which were made by British to attain their motives) with little punishments actually equal to NIL sometimes. For traffic rules first time violation should involve punishments second time heavy penalties and third the driving license should be cancelled. The driving license issue system should centralised and computerised so that license cannot be issued from any part of the country. The traffic sense and for that reason any sense only GOD can help. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Prahalada M	In India more people die or are disabled due to road accident than any other disease .This is because we lack civic sense and the authority is not keen to enforce rules. Violation of traffic rules are not taken seriously.In smaller towns there is no separate traffic personnel. Very rarely we find mobile traffic staff to deal with road congestion or vendors doing business on roads. Even cenema theaters and business establishments by the side of the roads create congestion. This should be adequately dealt with. Above all i would wish there must be adequate staff to deal with traffic violation. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

drprasadgowda	It is possible and only thing that can change the system is all of us. Specially students! Why dont the youth participate in rallies on traffic awareness. We can all be volunteers. Spend 2 hours on high street educating people over the weekend. Go to high schools and give a talk just after the morning prayers, remember they are the future drivers and mobile users! Talk to drivers politely who honk unnecessarily. Talk to your local traffic police department and flag up your concerns. If they dont take action, go to their higher officers. Even if they dont listen, keep sending in innumerable number of complaints. We can change and all it takes is vision, Education and sincerity. Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kanan	It is very well possible. One city at a time. I think it has started in many parts of India with the development of the new highways that require tolls. But any such major change must start from the top management/govt. May be they can begin from major metropolitan areas and then go on to smaller cities. 1. Better salaries for the traffic police so they aren't tempted to take bribe from traffic violators. 2. Better roads, better pedestrian walkways for the safety of drivers and public. Building better roads and designated pedestrian walkways would help tremendously. Govt. should spend tax money to renovate existing roads and building new infrastructure. 3. The punishments/fines should be logical and should be executed no matter what. Involve court if need be in case a violator wants to take the issue to the court. 4. The petrol/gas/fuel prices should be reduced because I’ve seen people driving wrong way to save fuel. 5. Required driving exams for licenses for different classes of vehicles. I am not sure whether there is something similar to the department of motor vehicles. I think there is definitely one that issues the drivers licenses. These people should come up with good written tests, and practical/behind the wheel exams that the motorists or drivers must take in order to get/renew their licenses. 6. Establish a minimum age for driving for different classes of vehicles. 7. Stricter rules for drivers and pedestrians (they shouldn’t be allowed to cross roads just anywhere but only at designated crossings) 8. There should be very strict rules for drivers who drive under the influence of alcohol. I have seen drivers getting away with murders when they ran over some pedestrian walking on the side of the road. These are just some points to start with. There’s much more that can be done. The rules and regulations in other countries throughout the world should be taken into consideration to see which rules have worked so far and which rules haven’t. Learning from others' mistakes and not making the same ones would save a lot of time and energy. This would be a good place to begin. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jyoti t	We should be strict with traffic rules e.g. CAMERAS sould be installed on the peak points to keep a check on who breaks traffic signals,speed limit boards and cameras should be installed near schools,public areas. If a person tries to break any rule a fine of 5000 to 10000 should be taken from him or a ban on driving the vehicle for 6 months should be charged to the person. AND THE PERSON WHO OVERTAKES FROM WRONG SIDE SHOULD BE FINED VERY HEAVILY OR JAILED OR A BAN OF 1 YEAR FOR DRIVING FROM WRONG SIDE. THE BASICS ITSELF IS NOT CLEAR CLEAR IN INDIA PEOPLE JUST OVERTAKE FROM WRONG SIDE WHICH IS FOOLISH. HEAVY TRUCKS WHICH RUN ON ROADS SHOULD BE RUN ON SPECIFIC TIMES LIKE 12 TO 4.00 IN THE AFTERNOON THEN MIDNIGHT12 TO 5.00 . IF U GO TO THANE (MUMBAI) THERE IS A PLACE CALLED GHODBUNDAR ROAD WHICH IS LOADED WITH SUCH HEAVY TRUCKS WHICH SHOULD BE BANNED ON RESIDENTIAL ROADS FOR A SPECIFIC TIMINGS. WE SHOULD HAVE 3 TIER EXPRESS HIGHWAYS. PRIVATISATION OF ROADS AND POLICE SHOULD BE THE FIRST PRIORITY TO COME UP WITH THE CORRUPTION WE HAVE !!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
