Question 152

Statement:
The increasing number of road accidents in the city has raised concerns over public safety. Investigations reveal that accidents are primarily caused by reckless driving, poor road infrastructure, and inadequate public awareness of traffic rules.

Courses of Action:
I) The government should implement strict traffic rules and impose heavy penalties on offenders.
II) Awareness campaigns should be launched to educate citizens about road safety and the importance of following traffic rules.
III) The government should ban private vehicles during peak hours to reduce congestion and accident risks

Solution

I: Implementing strict traffic rules and imposing heavy penalties can act as a deterrent for careless driving and reduce accidents.

II: Educating citizens through awareness campaigns is essential to change attitudes and ensure long-term road safety.
III: Banning private vehicles during peak hours may reduce congestion but is impractical and overly restrictive, potentially causing backlash without addressing the root issues.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer. (Only I and II follow)
