India's Road Safety Crisis: Experts Call for Data-Driven Reforms

Imagine roads in India are like a playground where too many people are getting hurt.

Experts, like doctors for roads, had a meeting to figure out why.

They said that roads often aren't built the safest way, rules about how fast to drive or wear helmets aren't always followed, and different groups don't always work together well.

They also found that India has a lot of people dying in crashes compared to how many cars it has.

So, they wrote a plan with tips, like using better information to fix roads, making sure roads are designed better, and holding people in charge more responsible.

Their big goal is to cut the number of people getting hurt or dying on roads by half by the year 2030, making it much safer for everyone to travel.
