The Way Forward

Detailed Analysis of the identified

blackspots will be undertaken as the

next step

Going forward, measures will be

suggested to mitigate blackspots in all

the TPS limits

The data will now be used to chalk out

the road safety action plan for

Bangalore

The objective of the plan would be to

reduce the RTAs and the deaths due to

it by 20% in the next year
