Due to the lack of proper roads, transport infrastructure, and adequate governance, there has been a manifold increase in road collisions in India. India is among the worst-performing countries in terms of road safety and witnesses the highest number of collisions in the world every year. This chapter identifies and analyzes two primary groups of challenges of road safety in India: (1) challenges of road and traffic conditions and (2) challenges of the road safety management (RSM) system. For road and traffic conditions, the traffic collision problems due to road and traffic characteristics from the engineering perspective are discussed, addressing the effects of speed, geometric design, and driving behavior on road safety. The RSM challenges are grouped into three categories: (a) management framework and policy challenges, (b) engineering design and standardization challenges, and (c) awareness challenges. Based on these challenges, several strategies related to infrastructure management, standards provision, policymaking, and enforcement of laws and regulations are suggested to help policymakers in implementing road safety management in India.
