Mumbai road safety

road safety

2014 India is at first place in world’s ranking for road fatalities. A general revision of road design standards and practices has to be adopted, while detailed plans must improve the situation of the most dangerous roads and junctions in our cities.

Mumbai tops India in accidental

deaths

Chi ttaranjan Tembhekar, TNN Jan 3, 2013, 01.12A M IST

MUMBAI: Mumbai, the financial capital of the country, could perhaps also be dubbed the

"accident capital". An analysis of accidental deaths, done by the National Crime Records

Bureau (NCRB) last year, has revealed that the city recorded the highest number of accidental

deaths between 2007 and 2011. The study covered 53 Indian mega cities with a population of

over 10 lakh.

According to the NCRB, Mumbai registered 7,814 accidental deaths in 2007-11, followed by

Delhi (7,576), with the two cities accounting for 12.5% and 12.1% of the total cases. Bangalore

(7.2%), Chennai (6.8%) and Pune (5.9%) completed the top 5 slots on the ignominious list.

Though accidental deaths cover all types of unnatural deaths like those caused by building

collapse, drowning, explosions, industrial mishaps, etc, road accidents account for the

maximum number of such fatalities. Mumbai was No. 4 in road accident cases in the four

years were analyzed.

Across the country, over 35% accidents take place on roads every year. In fact, road mishaps

are the reason for around 92.6% injuries and 37.3% fatalities suffered in accidents. According to

the research, with the number of road accidents increasing every year, the death toll too has

been on the upswing.

As far as road accidents are concerned, Chennai (9,845) topped the list, with Delhi (7,476),

Bangalore (6,031) and Mumbai (3,525) following. Interestingly, in Mumbai, most of the

mishaps took place in the months of September and October. In case of fatal road mishaps,

Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra occupy the top two slots among states.

According to the study, trucks and lorries were involved in most accidents, with 98.5% victims

(both injured and dead) being those who were travelling in the vehicles. Jeeps and cars too

were involved in a big number of mishaps, with 97.8% and 97.4% victims being those

commuting in them. In another low, Maharashtra saw the highest number of pedestrians

(12.6%) and motorists (13.3%) falling victims to accidents.

Meanwhile, Mumbai has reported the maximum number of sudden deaths—where the cause

of death is not known. Interestingly, Kolkata—the third largest city in terms of population—

reported the lowest number of accidental deaths at 1.4%.

5. detailed plans/// PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE

BEFORE PROJECT

surveys

private vehicles circulation

road redesign

pedestrian paths

parking restrictions

a dense pedestrian network creates a critical mass of people and allowsa safer circulation

the walkways were inadequateto support the pedestrian flow createdby a mixed and vibrant land-use

based on model simulations, with appropriate design standards and following traffic calming methods

the road sections were not based on the effective traffic flows, with both unused potential and congestion critical nodes

to rationalize the circulation within the area, with the aim of avoiding the overlap between heavy flows and pedestrian

the vehicles were allowed to circulate without any restriction

a survey campaign has been conducted to understand the main problems and potential of the area

to freed valuable areas, given to citizens and pedestrians

the area was characterized by a strong presence of road-side parked vehicles

AFTER

An urban regeneration, planned and designed by Systematica, is here presented as a successful case that increased the urban quality and the safety of a neighbourhood in Milan.
