Road accidents remain a significant issue in Chhattisgarh, with both urban and rural areas experiencing high accident rates. Reckless driving, lack of adherence to traffic rules, and poor road conditions are major contributors to the problem. In rural areas, unpaved roads and inadequate signage further increase the risk of accidents. Additionally, the lack of proper traffic infrastructure in growing cities also contributes to the rise in fatalities.
To combat this, the Chhattisgarh government has introduced various road safety measures, including stricter enforcement of traffic laws, awareness campaigns, and better road infrastructure. Police forces are working to increase patrolling in accident-prone areas and utilize technology like traffic cameras to monitor speed violations. However, the success of these measures largely depends on public awareness and compliance.
