In India road use pattern are very different from those of developed countries. The rapid urbanization in India after independence has resulted in the faster development of 23 metropolitan cities as per the 2001 census. While alarming increase in road accidents has become a major concern in the country, which takes away more than 90,000 lives every year, a significant share of it is from major cities.

Traffic violations happens in India, because of lack of road planning. Another reason is the mentality of drivers, there is a some kind of ego in blood of many drivers who think that they should drive as they wish. Surplus population has also reduced the value human to animal. It is impossible for few thousands traffic cops to manage and enforce various traffic rules. Some time these traffic cops are indulge in corruptions. To some extent they can prevent traffic violence, if they deny bribes. You may say that asking a few thousand cops to be honest is easier than asking million people not to give bribes. I suppose the change has to come from the top down from government policy and from bottom up through people.
