Traffic violations and accidents are persistent issues in Rajasthan, with rising road fatalities and public safety concerns. Major highways and roads linking cities such as Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Udaipur often witness high accident rates due to factors like speeding, non-compliance with traffic rules, and poor road conditions. A significant number of accidents involve two-wheelers, which account for a large portion of road fatalities in the state. Speeding, drunk driving, and the failure to use seatbelts are common violations contributing to these accidents.
To address these issues, Rajasthan’s traffic police have launched several awareness campaigns emphasizing road safety, proper driving techniques, and the consequences of traffic violations. Increased enforcement through the use of traffic cameras and checkpoints is part of the state’s strategy to reduce violations and accidents. Moreover, improvements in road infrastructure and the installation of better signage in accident-prone areas are ongoing to help mitigate the risks of traffic-related fatalities.
