Description:1. Road safety continues to be a major public health concern.
2. Worldwide - 1.35 million deaths in 2018 (Global Status Report on Road Safety)
3. India ranks 1st and accounts for 11% deaths (1,51,113 reported deaths and 4,51,361 injured in 2019- Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Govt. of India).
4. Motor Vehicle Amendment Act 2019 enacted- stiff hike in penalties to reduce fatalities. Work is going on for Integrated Road Accidents Database (IRAD) project for real time data on road accidents.
5. National highways in India- constitute 2.01% (causes 35.7% death) ; State highways- 3.01% (24.8% death); Subsidiary roads- 95% (approx. 40% death)
6. Age group affected - 18-60 (87% deaths)
7. Cause of death- Overspeeding (67% death); Wrong side driving (6% death)
8. Multiple initiatives are being introduced for road safety. One of them is related to vehicular engineering. Automobile industry is one of the largest industries in terms of revenue worldwide. Use of U-turn signalling system in vehicles will definitely bring a new revolution in vehicle industry and road safety.
9. People worldwide till date use hand gestures for taking a U-turn which most of the time is invisible to other drivers (both in front and back). People unknowingly take U-turn sometimes right in the middle of the road (specially on non-divided roads) which leads to confusion, anxiety, collision, major accidents, fights, property loss, traffic jams and related problems like pollution, fuel wastage, insurance claims (monetary loss), increased hospital burden, mental tension (for the family of the deceased), amaxophobia (fear of driving), divyang benefits if crippled (further monetary loss for government) etc.
10. Overspeeding and wrong lane driving are the major causes of death/injuries which is further aggravated by the use of inappropriate/unavailable signals/indicators. In the current setting, it is still difficult to predict that the person giving right/left indicator will take right/left turn or a U-turn, which generally leads to traffic jams/accidents. Every year the increasing vehicular traffic further demands implementation of stricter road safety rules. To mitigate accidents on the roads and ensure extra road safety it is the need of the hour to implement U-turn signalling system in all the vehicles in India and throughout the world for added safety.
