Recurring accidents highlight that over 90% of crashes are linked to rash and negligent driving, including over-speeding and traffic violations.
Illegal parking has also become a major issue in Goa, contributing to severe traffic congestion and safety hazards. Busy roads in Panaji frequently witness jams due to double parking, while tourists and commercial vehicles often block roads, footpaths, and residential areas.
Casino staff and visitors further worsen the situation by parking vehicles on footpaths and even in the middle of roads, creating major bottlenecks.
With vehicles parked indiscriminately on both sides of roads, navigation through the city has become extremely difficult, forcing many motorists to resort to double parking.
The absence of traffic police on roads often leads to chaotic conditions and encourages more violations. Strict enforcement, including clamping vehicles involved in double parking, would greatly help reduce congestion, accidents, and fatalities.
