The number plates on many vehicles in cities are so fancy that it is impossible to read vehicle number. My suggestions are as folloWS:
1. The font size of number should be standard enough to read effectively.
2. The taillight of vehicles should be compulsory
3. The companies should not sel l vehicl es without registration

transport sector needs to be corruption free. In India discipline needs to be enforced . It should be done by punitive fines. No body obeys traffic rules leading to accidents. administration should be ruthless in fining defaulters. There will be lot of representation and protests but the police should be strict. install CCTV cameras in all places and monitor traffic. defaulters to be booked/ fined based on CCTV footage.

There should be a recommdative body to the state Municipal bodies who would be actively recommending the alternative roadways and other traffic modalities from time to time, there should be a mechanism from the central govt who would analyze the social and population pattern who would recommend alternative traffic paths that could be build by the stategovt. This body should contain experts who only research and recommend only(to all towns and cities)

For traffic safety first make licence giving system effective as the age of 18 is mandatory for licence but not sufficient a person should know the traffic rules and clear a driving test only the he should be given licence for more you can learn from Kerala's system.I read that they have very good infra for this.Next one is we should make rules and regulations simple for those who help someone in road accident and promote these by giving rewards and by campaigning to promote humanity at thattim
