                                               Solution-Based      Approach:
                                              Addressing the alarming number of
                                              road fatalities in India is essential.
                                              Speeding is a significant contributor to
                                              road accidents, and the proposal is to
                                              use technologies like multi-lane ANPR
                                              cameras, radars, electronic monitoring
                                              devices and video incident detection
                                              systems. These technologies should
                                              be deployed on highways and urban
                                              roads to enhance traffic management
