Road accidents are very common today. Everyday We hear the news of some bus colliding with another, falling in the river or crushing the pedestrians.  The reason is heavy traffic, narrow or badly maintained roads, the violation  of traffic rules, over-loading the vehicles. In the towns and cities, there is no speed of limits. Drivers often try to overtake or even rush on the zebra-crossing  and intersections. They ignore the red signal or traffic  police's warning. They also try to drive ahead when the pedestrians are crossing the road. On the other hand, the pedestrians, too ignore the traffic signals and cross the roads amidst the moving traffic. Sometimes, they are found walking on the roads themselves, instead of walking on the footpath. they do not use subway or over-bridges crossing. But cyclists may use the footpath and hit the pedestrians. The external shops on the footpath cause many problems and block the easy movement of traffic. On the highway, the roads are so traffic congested & full of ups and downs, and the landslides so common that accidents have become a common feature. The haphazard way of parking heavy vehicles like trucks and lorries also cause road accidents, especially at nights. So the concern authorities driven and general pedestrians, especially school children, should all take great care and check road accidents.
