Road terrorism in Sri Lanka


Road terrorism in Sri Lanka


we can notice remarkable increase in road accident in Sri Lanka. It is the Sri Lankan government authorities responsibility to reduce the such deadly accidents. If our roads are not safety that would negatively affect our main focus business industry - Tourism.
Why it is happening these days....
- ignorance of road rules for many years. This is due to prevailed ‘war-like’ situation.
- Most of our A grade and B grade road network now is in very good condition. Drivers can speed up at their wish.
- Due to improvement of family income levels, vehicle ownership is rapidly rising. Thus resulting more vehicles on the road.
- People do not aware of road rules in Northern and Eastern provinces. Simply, for the past 30 years, there were no road rules.
It is the defence secretary and the Police department time to show their capabilities. As they have successfully minimized drunken drivers on the road, they have the capabilities to do the job.
