Uttarakhand has a significant road accident problem, mainly due to the state’s mountainous terrain, narrow roads, and often reckless driving. The number of fatalities and injuries from accidents has been rising steadily, prompting the Uttarakhand Police to take action. These efforts focus on strict enforcement of traffic rules, increased use of road safety measures, and public awareness campaigns.
The police are particularly focusing on curbing drunk driving, speeding, and distracted driving. Initiatives like traffic police education programs and enhanced road signs are part of a wider strategy to reduce road accidents and fatalities.
