The hill station has been receiving tourists round-the-year and the season will be at its peak during the summer months and also during the long festival holidays.

Gone are the days, when the tourists preferred arriving at Yercaud by the regular bus services. At present, a majority of the visitors arrive by cars and vans. The youths of Salem and neighbouring districts prefer two-wheeler riding to reach the hill.

Despite mammoth increase in the arrival of number of motor vehicles over the years, the failure of the local civic authorities to come up with parking lots in the town and also at the sight-seeing spots situated in its vicinity has left the tourists fuming.
In the absence of proper parking lots, the vehicles of the visiting tourists are parked in a haphazard manner in the main town and also in the other picnic spots leading to traffic congestion

Aand when the cars come to a stop waiting for red sign to change , No only Excessive honking by people causes noise pollution and loss of energy by respective vehicles , lt also causes migraine in nearby premises ,

My idea is that if we have a noise checker at these selected areas (Crossways, Intersection etc)
which would raise the waiting time proportionally
to the decibel at that particular area

Vehicles usually get stuck in traffic on hilly areas supposedly because of narrow roads. Not much could be done about the roads, but an organized way of moving vehicles, running on low speeds would be a lot helpful.
Also, overtaking is a serious problem on hilly areas. Considering the high levels of risk in overtaking in hilly areas, one heck of an amount of money should be charged as fine for violating such rules.
Ambulances and a few other emergency vehicles suffer due to this issue alongside.
In conclusion, travelling in hilly areas would be easier if people don't violate the traffic rules and drive in their lanes respectively.

Maybe we can think about putting some sort of sensors in vehicles that prevent them from speeding beyond a certain limit .

The sensors can sense high speed and light up a sign that will turn off only once the driver has reduced the speed (just like a seat belt warning)

Common Causes of Road Accidents in India

Common Causes of Road Accidents in India

# data[].attributes.body
Distracted Driving
One of the most leading causes of road accidents is distracted driving. The number of accidents occurring due to distracted driving has increased in the past decades. Undivided attention while driving is a must and drivers should inculcate the same within them. Reading messages, replying to texts, taking calls, reading, grooming, etc. behind the wheel can be fatal.
Drunk Driving
Drunk driving or driving under the influence of any drug is one of the most dangerous causes of road crashes. If you have had a drink or anything, take a cab or give your keys to a sober friend who can drop you home. Driving in a drunken condition is not worth the risk.

Speeding/ Reckless Driving

It is quite tempting to push the accelerator and increase the speed when you are running late. Speeding increases the intensity of accidents and is proved to be fatal most of the time. Hence, it is advisable to drive within the legal limits even when you are running late.

Reckless driving mostly leads to horrible accidents. Take your time and remain calm behind the wheels to avoid unwanted accidents caused by mere neglect.

Not Wearing Seat Belt

It is essential to wear a seat belt while driving. Not only it keeps your posture right, but also reduces the chances of injuries during a head to head collision. It also increases the likelihood of survival of the drivers without having to suffer any significant damage.

Rain or Wet Roads

Wet roads are slippery, and hence they can be fatal for the vehicles as the wheels lose their traction on wet roads. While you can't always avoid driving in the rain, the slippery streets should be best avoided whenever possible. Also, when the visibility is too low, you should pull over and wait until the rain subsides.

Potholes and Bad Road Condition

Poor road conditions are unavoidable and very frustrating for drivers. Be very cautious around potholes to avoid damaging your car. Smearing your vehicle to avoid the potholes can be dangerous.

Breaking Traffic Rules

If everyone follows the traffic rule, the roads will be a safer place to be. The rules are simple, yet few people tend to break them often. Red signal always means stop. Even if you see no other vehicles coming, running a red light and breaking the law might cause a severe accident. Understand that life is more important than all excuses combined, and it's best to be safe than sorry.

Tailgating

No matter how frustratingly slow the cars in front of you must be going, there's no excuse to get too close them. Keep a safe distance from other vehicles so that you have enough time to react to sudden turns.
All these reasons might sound very basic, but they are the significant reasons behind accidents on Indian roads. Accidents come with a whole set of sufferings. Having your vehicle insured can be a breeze of relief for you. Therefore, we recommend you to have a valid car insurance or two wheeler insurance policy for your four-wheelers and bikes respectively. In case your car insurance or two wheeler insurance policy has expired, renew it within minutes online.

Problems faced by people during traffic congestion:
1) delays in their imp. work.
2) air pollution
3) breathing problem
4) wastage of fuel ( petrol and diesel) because of which a lot of people's salary is wasted on fuels for their vehicles.
5) ambulances are also caught up in the jams at several times because of which many people have lost their loved ones and if this continues many such innocent people's lives are at stake even now as well.
6) noise pollution near hospitals and schools
7) dehydration because of standing in a traffic jam for several minutes and at times hours.

Everyone is in a hurry. During congestion on roads, two wheelers tend to move through the foothpath in order to move ahead faster. This hinders the movement of pedestrians and sometimes cause minor accidents.

For an average Indian youth owning a two-wheeler, driving on any of the major Indian cities, is equivalent to waging a daily war. The everyday struggle and effort of dodging traffic, pollution and rash drivers is the biggest cause of chronic stress and many physiological problems. On an average, a person spends anywhere between 30 minutes to two hours of their day driving. Which means, in a year, it is almost 360 hours. Imagine the kind of stress and unnecessary burden the person is putting on their body. In a country already full of numerous lifestyle-related diseases, the driving and traffic problems is an unnecessary addition.

The magnitude of traffic not only creates congestion problems, but also give rise to a lot of other issues. Air pollution and sound pollution are two major issues that are rising to alarming proportions in the recent years.

The recent Delhi pollution should be taken up as a big eye opener for the entire country. It not only affects people who are actually driving but also people who are staying indoors. These issues are creating huge problems for senior citizens and children.

Bad Road Quality Due To Overloading-
Urban roads are extremely congested due to heavy traffic caused by private vehicles. This over-usage rapidly degrades the quality of roads, and most of the expenditure meant for expansion of roads is spent on the maintenance. It’s a vicious circle where bad roads cause traffic problems, and the traffic does not allow scope for the development of new roads.

One of the major reasons on traffic congestion is due to auto rikshaws , two wheelers , buses and etc which are driven by people whom dont even pass the basic driving test before applying for driving license so to ensure proper working of public transport there should be a regular test of eyesight physical and mental ability for the validity of driving license which can be conducted yearly
