Almost daily, the newspapers report about
road accidents in cities. The number of
persons killed or injured in such accidents is
ever on the increase. Cities are filled with
industrial and commercial centres and are
thickly populated. Life there is active round
the clock. Apart from the pedestrians, the city
roads are always crowded by trucks, buses,
motorcars, motorcycles, scooters and bicycles.

Proper traffic facilities are not available in all parts of a
city. Some dangerous crossings and turnings are without
traffic lights. It may be due to the lack of funds. Then
there are certain roads that are very narrow and their
widening is not possible.

Some people have imperfect road sense. Drivers take
wrong turns to save distances. The pedestrians cross
the roads at wrong places. Some look at the sideways
advertisements while others walk in the middle of the
road. Traffic management is, therefore, a major
problem in large cities. The advanced countries of the
world have adopted most modern techniques of traffic
control. In spite of all this, thousands die every year in
traffic accidents in those countries. It is due to the fact
that traffic is becoming heavier and heavier day by day.

We may adopt some measures to check accidents on city
roads. Firstly, the condition of roads should be
improved. The damaged roads should be repaired and
new roads constructed. All dangerous road crossings
and turnings must be fitted with traffic lights and signs.

Secondly, due care should be taken while issuing driving licenses.
Only road-worthy vehicles should be allowed to move on the
roads. Breakers of traffic rules should be severely punished.
Thirdly, all means of propaganda the press, the radio, the T.V
should be used to produce road sense in the people. Only in this
way traffic problems of large cities can be overcome to a great
extent.
