Heya mate... Here's your answer!

⏹five major problems faced by the road transport in India⏹

➡One major problem on the Indian roads is the mixing of traffic. Same road is used by high speed cars, trucks, two wheelers, tractors, animal driven carts, cyclists and even by animals. Even highways are not free from this malady. This in­creases traffic time, congestion and pollution and road accidents.

➡There are multiple check-posts, toll tax and octoroon duties collection points on the roads which bring down the speed of the traffic, waste time and cause irritation to transporters. Rate of road taxes vary from state to state and inter-state permits are difficult to obtain.

➡Way side amenities like repair shops, first aid centers, telephones, clean toilets, restaurants, rest places are lacking along the Indian roads. There is very little attention on road safety and traffic laws are willfully violated.

➡There is very little participation of private sector in road development in India because of long gestation period and low-returns. The legislative framework for private investment in roads is also not satisfactory. The road engineering and construction are yet to gear themselves up to meet the challenges of the future.

➡There has been no stability in policy relat­ing to highway development in the country. It has changed with the change of government. There are a number of agencies which look after the construc­tion and maintenance of different types of roads. Since there is no co-ordination between these agen­cies their decisions are often conflicting and contra­dictory.
