Why ?? …….Vulnerable UsersWhy ?? …….Vulnerable Users• Around 15% of the total road traffic fatalities in India occur in 23 metros.• Non motorised transport road users consisting of pedestrians, cyclists
and other slow moving vehicles are the most vulnerable group and account for 60 to 80% of the fatalities.
• Motorised two-wheelers comprise approximately 70% of all vehicles and constitute 20-30% of fatalities.
• Heavy vehicles like trucks and buses are associated with 50-70% of fatal road crashes in urban areas.
• Indian society suffers an estimated economic loss of Rupees 55,000 crores (550,000 m) per year due to road traffic crashes. This is of the same order of magnitude as all the investment in road building and maintenance. A small reduction of ~10% in RTI means savings of about Rupees 5,000 crores a year. This understanding should guide us in policy making for road safety research and safety infrastructureinvestments. It would be sensible to earmark a fixed percentage of road building funds for road safety activity.
