Jaipur-Ajmer highway truck fire: Experts blame incomplete construction, sudden cuts; seek road safety action plan

The Hindu  

Incomplete construction, sudden cuts and a lack of traffic sense might have caused the Jaipur-Ajmer highway accident that killed 14 people, experts said on Saturday and called for a comprehensive statewide road safety action plan. "The stretch of the Jaipur-Ajmer highway where the crash occurred is an accident-prone spot, with poor traffic management and ongoing construction creating hazardous conditions," said George Cheriyan, a prominent voice of Road Safety Network in India and a former member of the Rajasthan chief secretary's traffic management committee. Bagru Udhyog Mitra co-convenor Navneet Jhalani, who passes the accident spot daily, said, "The foundation of Friday's accident was laid when the ring road was hastily inaugurated six years ago to bypass the implementation of the Model Code of Conduct for elections. Road safety expert Dr Prerna Arora Singh said, "There is no high mast lighting system at the intersection.
