Scant respect for traffic rules and regulations is most common cause for major road accidents in Goa and in the country.
The lack of maintenance of roads, and shoddy construction of roads exacerbate matters. Pot holes on every road including village roads and highways are common, as the month of June comes all the roads are washed away and the roads are not fit to be motorable. These roads remain unattended for months together and often become death traps. The traffic administration sends their personnel on the roads to challan the motorcycles and other vehicles but how many of this government officials have blamed contractors for their shoddy works or given them fines the only reason is corruption from bottom to top. Often trenches are excavated for utility lines, without proper barricades or warning tapes which should be a must for contractors.
Let everyone work together for reducing the number of road accidents in Goa and India by obeying traffic rules, and let the government stay the course by building quality roads which can last for two to three years and carrying out timely maintenance works of roads.
