Dear Goa Netters, Greetings to you all! I am the beneficiary by visiting Goanet every time.
I wanted to share with you all that my revisit to ROAD SAFETY IN Goa everytime reaffirms that we are progressing very well in the Road maintenance and also the Traffic Management, as compared to the past.Leave alone the statistics of accident fatalities. Areas of definite progress:(spectacular & unique) Road Markings Sign Boards Road Engineering Road Laying Uniformity in speed breakers(This was my constant reminder in all my articles published in O Herald O, Times of India and Navhind Times. Increase in the deployment of traffic police in busy locations Additional force of trainee constables on Traffic Duty in Panjim and other areas Marking on the sides of the Highway Reflectors on the highway with proper indicators SPEED BREAKER INDICATORS ARE UNIQUE AS THERE ARE TWO INDICATORS : ONE IS CAUTIONARY ANOTHER IS ACTUAL SPOT OF THE SPEED BREAKER. Why I am recording this to day is because, MR.Digambar Kamat , Chief Minister of Goa had visited Nuvem Circle with the PWD/ Police and other officials on 9th september 2010. Traffic Management should grow and go in the same direction which is under implementation now. This would ensure complete traffic awareness and also a committed road user concept. Mr.Gurunath Kelekar will be too happy to hear this news as he is one of the causes to bring the issue into focus through his Fasting two years ago. This analysis comes to me through personal verification of factual status in places like Mangalore, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, etc., TIME IS NOT FAR OFF FOR GOA TO LEAD ROAD SAFETY(That is my dream too!)
