Part I: Traffic
The ten worst areas
ROAD STUDY - 10 worst black spots remain unsafe, Dec 03 2016 : The Times of India
The School of Planning and Architecture (SPA) is the first university in the country to include road safety in its curriculum. The course is a part of the master's programme in transport plan ning
A black spot is an accident prone area. Of the 128 such spots identified by the traffic police, the worst ten were ranked according to the highest criticality by SPA.
They are: Sarai Kale Khan, Kashmere Gate Chowk (Mori Gate), Nigambodh Ghat, Mukundpur Chowk, Dr Bhabha Marg crossing, Punjabi Bagh Chowk, ISBT Kashmere Gate, Mahipalpur flyover, Shani Mandir and Shahdara flyover.
Although the number of such fatalities have gone down from 2,153 in 2010 to 1,532 in 2015, Delhi still ranks first in road deaths in the country , said K K Kapila, who heads the Interna tional Road Federation -a Geneva-based global body working for safer and better roads.
“Black spots can be made safer for motorists through accident investigation and engineering prevention techniques. Simple measures such as improving visibility by removing hazards, installation of street lighting, redesigning of junctions and roadways to accommodate the needs of pedestrians and cyclists, provision of appropriate road markings and traffic can significantly reduce road accidents,“ said Kapila.

2010: fewer accidents
Study shows fewer accidents in 2010
Delhi Police Says Number Of Mishaps Down By 15.5% In First Three Months
Megha Suri Singh | TNN
Delhi roads seem to be becoming much safer if the accident figures compiled by the Delhi Police for the first three months of this year are to be believed. The study reveals that the number of accidents reported this year — 1,450 — is the lowest the city has seen in the past decade. Traffic police attributes it to increasing congestion and therefore reduced speeds, phase-wise completion of large construction projects and large presence of cops on the roads during rush hours.
A look at the figures reveals that 495 people have been killed in accidents this year (till March 31) and another 1,330 people suffered injuries. There has been a decline of about 15.5% in the total number of accidents. Trucks continue to be the major killers as they have been involved in 92 accidents, followed by Bluelines with 24 accidents and Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses with 8 accidents.
Over the years, the highest number of accidents has been reported in the wee hours of the day (midnight to 4am) and this year too, 65 accidents occurred during this time. But the maximum number of accidents — 120 — have taken place between 9pm and 12pm. This is about eight accidents less than the figure for last year.
Senior traffic police officials feel it is not possible to attribute the reduction in accidents to any one reason. But a recent mandate to post traffic policemen at all the intersections in the city during the morning and evening rush hour could have been a factor.
‘‘We have shifted the focus from enforcement to traffic management during the morning and evening rush hour. Now, every traffic signal in the city is physically manned by policemen. Wewould have taken a hit on prosecution, but the focus is on better traffic management,’’ said an official.
Police sources say that the average speed on several key corridors like Ring Road, where people could earlier speed has also reduced due to congestion and traffic jams. This, they said, also could have translated into fewer accidents.
2014-15: Major traffic offences in Delhi
The Times of India, Aug 15 2015

Jumping signal and illegal parking vie for top honours in challan book
It doesn't take much to throw Delhi's traffic out of gear.A car changing lanes at the last moment, a bus stopping to pick up passengers or an auto parked on the roadside can do it. All of these fall under the category of minor traffic violations but their effect on the city and its stress levels is enormous. So is the number of these violations.Although only a minority of errant drivers gets challaned, police records show 3.4 lakh prosecutions for wrong parking till July 2015. “There is a general disregard for the law,“ says Muktesh Chander, special commissioner, traffic. He says people are not afraid to break traffic rules as the fines are paltry . “People flout rules and then argue to justify their actions. Flouting traffic norms has become a habit, especially during the peak hours.“
Traffic experts say population growth and lack of a public transit system are also responsible for the increasingly unruly driving on Delhi's roads. Surprisingly, the number of challans issued for jumping signals has come down from 4.78 lakh in the first seven months of 2014 to 2.86 lakh during the same period this year. Challans for wrong parking have also reduced from 4.5 lakh to 3.4 lakh. But police say this is a result of the driver sensitization programme and “dynamic prosecution“ they undertook last year.
In 2015, police have cracked down on drivers jumping lanes and crossing divider lines. The number of challans for these offences has increased from 52,850 in the first seven months of 2014 to 937 this year.
Police say 30% of the offenders drive autos, RTVs and Gramin Sewa vehicles while the rest are private car owners. A police study shows the number of challans issued is roughly the same as the number of licensed drivers in the city . However, many of the drivers have been challaned more than once for the same offence.
Traffic expert K K Kapila from International Road Federations says challaning does not discipline drivers anymore as the fines are paltry. Also, heavy traffic at all times of the day enables people to get away with violations because there aren't enough policemen around. The law needs to be strong to deter drivers from breaking rules, he says.
Once the much-delayed Integrated Traffic Management System is in place, private firms will monitor violations and challans will be sent directly to vehicle owners. “We need a foolproof vehicle registration system for this,“ said a traffic official.
2016: Lesser fines for dangerous driving than 2015
Challans For Speeding, Jumping Signals Lower Than 2015, Feb 14 2017: The Times of India
Fewer people booked for dangerous driving in 2016
Delhi's roads are becoming increasingly unsafe but enforcement and challaning seem to have become less intense of late. In 2016, cops booked lesser number of drivers for offences, which endangered the lives of others, as compared to 2015. They fined 86,771 drivers for speeding compared to 2,35,002 in 2015; 92,037 drivers were challaned for jumping traffic signals in 2016 against 4,01,033 in 2015; 2,05,470 cases were registered under sections of dangerous driving in 2016 as against 2,36,930 cases in 2015.
Traffic police officers claim that an increase in the vehicle numbers from 74.41lakh in 2011 to more than 1 crore in 2016 resulted in more congestion and lesser challans. Drives were conducted to increase challans for drunk driving, triple riding and pillion rider without helmets though.
According to Delhi Police's data, 2,42,250 drivers were booked for not stopping at a “stop line“ in 2016 as compared to 1,43,727 in 2015. Cops also booked 2,621 drivers for wrong overtaking in 2016 as against 6,363 in 2015. However, the challans against drunk driving showed a marginal increase from 25,958 in 2015 to 28,006 in 2016.
Officers said they had booked almost twice the number of people for driving without a licence last year compared to 2015. The police sent 1,78,578 licences for suspension for various violations, which is the highest among all the states in India.
The police data show a dip in the number of fatal accidents compared to 2015. Last year 1,591 people had died in 7,375 accidents compared to 1,622 killed in 8,085 accidents the previous year.
The traffic police launched a drive against the rogue public transport drivers last year in which 25,136 Gramin Sewa drivers, 4,972 DTC drivers and 1,87,991 TSR drivers were booked for plying without proper credentials.
After the registration of erickshaws was made mandatory last year, cops booked 26,472 drivers for unauthorised driving and 2,80,888 for plying on the wrong side of the road.
The traffic police sent 282 proposals to PWD to rectify roads prone to congestions.They also enforced pedestrian discipline on some stretches. They introduced 200 body-worn cameras and 50 variable message as part of the smart traffic management plan last year.
2016: safest year since 2006
Accident deaths: 2016 safest in a decade, Jan 14, 2017: The Times of India
Although the vehicle count increased, 2016 was the safest year in a decade in terms of traffic fatalities. There were 1,548 accident deaths as against 1,582 in 2015. The police claimed strict enforcement of rules, including cancellation of licence, brought about the improvement, but the data shows a 14% decrease in the number of challans.
Delhi recorded 7,375 road accidents during the year, injuring more than 7,000 people, Sanjay Beniwal, special CP (operations), said at a seminar organised by International Road Federation (IRF) on Friday .
The traffic police is in the process of installing high-definition cameras, optimised real-time signals, variable sign boards and centralised command control centre to assess real-time traffic volume and capture images of even small objects causing obstructions on the arterial roads.
Delhi Police will soon install more high-definition CCTV cameras and traffic monitoring and management technologies at important locations and connect them to the monitoring room at the traffic headquarters. Their high-quality videos will help in detecting violations at the chosen locations.
The e-challan system helped the police identify repeat offenders, and over 19,000 licences were seized. The road-owning agencies were asked to make changes on 137 accidentprone stretches. Common people also reported 5,200 violations through apps and the traffic police's Facebook page.
Averting Accidents
Re-engineer 10 black spots: SPA
Rumu Banerjee, Road to redemption for 10 black spots, Jan 24, 2017: The Times of India
Black spots, or locations on roads where three or more fatal or alternately 10 or more non-fatal accidents take place every year, can be reengineered to save both lives and money, says a study carried out by the School of Planning and Architecture.
This could be of significance in a city that has seen the number of accidents spiralling. In 2015, Delhi Police reported 8,085 accidents, of which 1,582 involved fatalities. The SPA study says that simple engineering counter-measures could avert thousands of such accidents. Carried out on 10 “black“ spots, the research determined that an investment of Rs 51.97 crore could help prevent 19,800 accidents and result in economic gains of Rs 388 crore over 20 years.
Prof PK Sarkar, under whose supervision the SPA study was conducted, said, “The findings provide a roadmap on how to reengineer these black spots, prioritise them and help bring down accident rates drastically.“ The black spots studied were originally identified by Delhi Police. “These include the heavily crowded Sarai Kale Khan, Kashmere Gate ISBT, Mahipalpur flyover, Shani Mandir, Nigam Bodh Ghat and areas like Punjabi Bagh Chowk,“ said Sarkar.
Using stars, the study rated the 10 black spots in terms of severity and likelihood of accident for different categories of users -motor vehicles, two-wheelers, cyclists and pedestrians. Among factors surveyed were spot speed, classified traffic volume count and pedestrian peak hour volume count.
Sarkar said that the star rating was achieved through a software developed by the International Road Assessment Programme, a non-profit organisation, and was based on inspection of infrastructure and elements that influenced the likelihood of accidents and severity of crashes on the locations. Lower the rating, the more dangerous that site was to that category of user.
“After the rating, the model is calibrated, and an estimate of the existing number of deaths and serious injuries at any point on the network can be made,“ explained Sarkar. This information can be used to examine the potential death and serious injury reduction that is possible through proven engineering counter measures at any location.
After finding that 52% of the road stretch at the 10 sites returned 3-star rating for vehicles, 50% had 2-star rating for two-wheelers, 38% had a 1-star rating for pedestrians while 34% had 2-star rating for bicycles, the study concluded, according to Sarkar, “An investment of Rs 49.97 crore for road safety counter measures at these spots could save 1,981 fatal and 17,890 injurious accidents in 20 years.“
The study, carried out by Shawon Aziz, discussed remedial measures too.Of these, high-cost solutions included adding or widening lanes, gradeseparated crossings for pedestrians or exclusive service and cycle lanes. Introduction of road safety barriers, pedestrian facilities, traffic calming measures or signalised intersections constituted mediumcost remedies, while lowcost steps involved delineation, use of retro-reflective markings, guideposts, warning signs, etc
Temporal trends
Somreet Bhattacharya, Most Accidents Occur Between 11pm & Midnight, Jan 28, 2017: The Times of India
The capital has emerged as a dangerous place for pedestrians and bikers.Four out of every 10 people killed in road accidents here are pedestrians; the other four are two-wheeler riders.
According to a study conducted by the traffic police, almost five people died on an average per day in accidents last year. The two Ring Roads were death traps with 203 people perishing on these arterial stretches that connect almost all parts of the city. The study , which includes data from January to November last year, shows that 612 pedestrians and 503 people on two-wheelers were killed. Almost 50% of the pedestrian deaths took place while they were walking on the roads, due to lack of designated footpaths in many places, or crossing busy stretches. Eighty per cent of the deaths involving two-wheelers were caused primarily because of two factors: the vehicles toppled and their riders were not wearing helmets.
The maximum number of fatal accidents occurred between 11pm and midnight; the morning peak hours -10am to 11am -were the safest. Cops say that private cars were the biggest killers.
Most of the accidents took place near flyovers and intersections. “We've come up with solutions that require engineering changes at some stretches,“ special commissioner (traffic) Ajay Kashyap said. Though the rate of accidents has reduced since 2015, our aim is to bring it down to zero,“ Kash bring it down to zero,“ Kashyap said.
Apart from the two Ring Roads, the highways passing through the city -GT Karnal Road, Rohtak Road, NH-8 and Grand Trunk Road -accounted for most of the other fatalities. Police officers admitted that speeding on open stretches is the reason behind almost all the accident cases. Careless overtaking, lane changing or stopping suddenly led to most of the accidents, as evident from a speeding BMW car recently ramming into a cab, killing the driver. According to the NCRB, 41% of the accidents were due to speeding while 32.2% due to abrupt changing of lanes. Driving drunk too accounted for 10% of the fatalities.
Cops charged 243 private car drivers for fatal accidents last year. They also registered, 579 cases as hit-and-run incidents in which investigations revealed that almost 51% were caused by private cars.Trucks were found to be the second biggest killers on road. According to a previous study by the ministry of road transport and highways, 77.1% of the accidents were caused due to the fault of the driver, while the rest were due to the fault of the victim. Moreover, almost 70% of the accidents were caused by head-on collisions.
Drunkenness, among drivers: region-wise
South Delhi, drunk drivers
The Times of India, Apr 05 2016
30% of drunk drivers from south Delhi
Somreet Bhattacharya
No amount of penalty seems to have had an impact on drunk driving in the capital. What's more: south Delhi has the dubious record of having the most number of drunk driving cases. A study shows between December 2012 and December 2015, about 30,000 drivers were penalised each year. Most of them were found in Greater Kailash, Hauz Khas and Defence Colony . But only 1% of drivers were sent to jail; most others were let off upon paying a fine of Rs 2,000. Also, over 60% of the violators were private vehicle owners, police said, referring to the study.
Traffic police said 25,958 drivers were found driving drunk in 2015 of whom 70% had a Delhi licence. About 32.74% of these drivers were from south Delhi while 24.32% were from west. The study found that 45.56% of those south Delhi drivers were repeat offenders; the corresponding figure for west Delhi drivers was 23.07%. Central Delhi had the lowest number of repeat offenders at 4.43%. In 2014, of 29,584 such drivers, 39.02% were from south Delhi.
Of those driving drunk in 2015, 58.86% had alcohol content more than 150mg per 100ml blood on an average.
It was found that areas around farmhouses near Mehrauli reported the most number of drunk driving cases, followed by markets around Lajpat Nagar, Defence Colony and Hauz Khas. Mehrauli alone had 1,024 accidents due to drunk driving in 2015.
But the highest number of drunk driving-related accidents were reported from Sadar Bazar--1,227. Seemapuri came third with 857 cases. The most fatal accidents caused due to drunk driving were reported from Outer Ring Road, NH-1 and Mathura Road, police said.
Traffic police sources said dark spots around MehrualiBadarpur Road and Mehrauli-Mahipalpur stretch have the most number of drunk drivers past midnight.“Drunk driving is rampant in the Mehrauli-Badarpur area, which has long, wide roads and has bars and restaurants nearby ,“ said a traffic police officer, quoting the study .
Till December 2015, 62.09% drunk drivers were found to be riding two-wheelers while 19.89% were driving cars; 4.71% were TSR drivers.Police impounded 1,644 licences from areas around the ITO crossing and Delhi Gate during the same period.
The penalty for drunk driving earlier was Rs 1,000. Last December, the option of impounding licences was introduced. Occasionally , drunk drivers are arrested under Section 279 of IPC and their vehicles impounded. But police officers say even these strictures aren't enough and there's need for stricter legal provisions.
