Road Rage : The consequence of traffic in developing countries

Tweet

The road rage is defined as the uncontrolled anger among the motorists leading to violence causing grave injuries and even deaths. The already stressed and frustrated individual due to his work and personal problems gets even more stressed sitting in the idle traffic. That is why when they try to hurry, they get in an accident of some sort leading to a confrontation. As their patience is already running thin, this result in violent altercations. Hence there are increasing numbers of the injuries and deaths. The poor maintenance and poor organization of the whole traffic system also contributes to this issue. The road networks are poorly planned and unorganized at the best. When the road aren't maintained properly and aren't taken care of, they become riddled with potholes and pits. People in general avoid such roads and hence the more the people avoid such road, the more the number of people using the alternate routes increases. This again brings us back to the issue of traffic jam. There is also a question that arises in mind regarding the public transport. Why is it not used? It can save the general public the money they spend on fuel. It can ease up on the traffic jams too. The reason behind more and more people preferring personal transport than the public one is due to the low number of transits available than the number of passengers. Due to this, transport buses and trains get congested too. That is why people prefer personal vehicle to avoid traveling in such tight situations. Also the timings of this transport aren't set in stone which leads to upsetting the schedules of people working in different sectors. {Photo by Pixabay)
