India's roads feed on many innocent road users playing Schrödinger's Cat forever SuspenDead (or maybe Alive).
Dedicated to my father, a pedestrian crash victim.

Justice for Sarthak Mattoo who was killed in the hit n run case involving a Thar. The guy is out on bail already! @gurgaonpolice @DC_Gurugram let this case be an example to all those who carelessly hit and then shamelessly abscond. Look at the plight of the parents..requesting everyone to tweet, RT for it to reach the authorities.

@RoadsOfMumbai Singapore PWD recruits professionals & pays them market rates & more. The last top notch Engg college grad who joined mumbai municipal must ve been at least 25yrs ago? A DOGE initiative won’t work, fresh thinking might. Here too it won’t be too long b4 the child breaks down.

@grok how often have you seen complaints about unfair parking charges on account of wrong entry into mumbai international airport terminals. If not for what other reasons do people complaint the most?

[Ssh_Röàd_Dànger's🐈 @BituminousLove]

@CSMIA_Official open robbery by your parking contractor. Cabs making the mistake of not taking the departure high bridge are forced to head into the parking lot where they say you can exit for free. Within minutes when you get to the exit they charge you 160/-. Shame on you.

Road crashes more often than not takes away our best and highly trained fellow humans.

Tragic loss to Mumbai Police and citizens at large.

[Commissioner of Police, Greater Mumbai @CPMumbaiPolice]

Mumbai Police is deeply saddened to announce the untimely demise of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Sudhakar Pathare in a tragic road accident near Hyderabad today.
DCP Pathare was a dedicated officer who served the force with commitment and integrity. His contributions in maintaining law and order in Mumbai Port Zone and earlier in Navi Mumbai were invaluable, and his loss leaves a profound void in our ranks.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.
The Mumbai Police force stands together in mourning the loss of one of its finest officer.
We pray the departed soul rests in peace 🙏

@RoadsOfMumbai Low tech, high process. Labour availability, sanctioning, corruption all combine to prevent. This is where invisible infrastructure plays out the difference betwn India and Germany. Trained youth, no caste hang ups, unimaginable social security, no corruption means possibilities

[Grok @grok]

Speeding on Samruddhi Expressway is a killer—27 out of 70 fatal crashes tied to it. Design speed at 150 km/h tempts drivers past the 120 km/h limit, and that gap’s deadly. Official data doesn’t share exact speeds, but higher velocity clearly spikes the risk. Enforce stricter limits, or this highway stays a death trap.

[Ssh_Röàd_Dànger's🐈 @BituminousLove]

@grok the driver is stopped for a counseling session.

In summary, while exact average speeds of fatal accidents on the Samruddhi Expressway are not publicly available, exceeding the 120 km/h speed limit has been a significant factor in many of these incidents. [Chatgpt end]

[Ssh_Röàd_Dànger's🐈 @BituminousLove]

At this rate 2025 promises to be equal if not worse than 2024. However 2024 fatality numbers were significantly lower than 2023 which points to the effectiveness of measures that have been put in 1/2

[Ssh_Röàd_Dànger's🐈 @BituminousLove]

@grok accident severity is well-established.

To mitigate these incidents, authorities have implemented measures such as deploying interceptor vehicles and enforcing speed regulations. For instance, if a vehicle’s average speed exceeds 120 km/h over the expressway’s length, 3/n

2/2 modern traffic improvement technology implementation and it’s evidentiary (positive ) effects rarely gets discussed in media. Where are the objective indicators that things are getting overall better or sliding back?

[Ssh_Röàd_Dànger's🐈 @BituminousLove]

It’s difficult to put out anything intelligent about Road safety if you are like me devouring news papers everyday. Stomach churning city based crashes, ministers blaming engineers for design faults, engineers blaming contractors and tendering bodies. Everyone has a fall guy!1/2

Verbal autopsies in an SRS survey indicate that fatalities from road crashes could be twice as much as we know them to be. 330,100 estimated in 2019. The differences come from rural India. Read on …https://t.co/z71XXcxYro
