The Pune - Mumbai Express way is a death trap of sorts.
Government has been doing many things of late, but still it is missing on
smaller and simpler but effective means to curb accidents.
It is known that the lane discipline is not at all followed
in the country so how can we talk about it for this road. But looking at the
number of deaths on such expressways certain things can certainly be done as
under:
The heavy vehicles should be limited to left most section of
the road. You can put height barricades at certain intervals on the right side ,
install CC TV cameras at various locations, at least on the accident prone
section of the ghat on the road and put heavy penalty to begin with followed by
temporary or permanent cancellation of driver license or owner's permit
depending on number of violations.
I tell you this will give you immediate results.
Similarly the lighting in the tunnels is anything but
satisfactory. Combination of LED & Sodium Vapor Lights and increased number
will help in a great way. Similarly the internal walls on the tunnels should be
painted with white fluorescent paint and there should be curbing with lights on
each side like you see on the runways at airport.
Again these are simple and doable things.
I am a retired professional project engineer and i am ready
to help the ministry in improving safety of roads throughout the country, free
of cost if my travel and stay is taken care off. choice is yours.
