In what seems like an ironic blessing in disguise, movement of the city's traffic at a snail's pace has reduced the number of accidents in the city, as compared to the previous two years.
One of the biggest reasons for the bumper-to-bumper traffic is the number of private vehicles that are added to the city roads every day. On an average, nearly 1,500 private vehicles are released on the streets on a daily basis.
Not only does that add tou00a0 congestion on the roads but also automatically decreases the speed of vehicles drastically. Reduction in the speed of vehicles has an impact on the number of rash driving incidents and accidents.
