Meanwhile, according to sources, in India, 1,55,622 people died in road accidents in 2022, with overspeeding being to blame for 59.7% of those deaths. In fact, 62% of these accidents occurred on just 5% of the highways, indicating the need for preventative actions to lower accidents along these portions. The government must find more of these stretches around the nation and implement preventative measures including lowering speed limits, repairing blind spots, and levelling out extremely undulating sections of road, which are some of the main causes of traffic accidents.
