Vastu makes accident-prone roads safe! (Click here)
NAGPUR: In an effort to bring down accidents in the rural parts of the district, the Nagpur rural police are even experimenting with Vastu Shastra, to reduce the 'negative energy' in accident prone zones. Vastu pyramids have reportedly been installed at 12 such places across the district to improve 'vibes'. The cops are monitoring the results to find out more about this phenomenon. As an immediate effect, though, cops asay no accidents have taken place in these accident-prone spots in the past six months!
Really i ask myself , its bad vibes and not people to be blamed for accidents whether the road geometric designer or builder or drivers or pedestrians. Well my cool view is its not the bad vibes in rural areas its unawareness and illiteracy...
Recently there have been a lot of connectivity due to large scale expansion of interstate or national highways most of them run through the villages, So what has happened is the villagers who before used to see a few truck or cars plying on perceived speeds are now witnessing a large number of similar vehicles being driven rashly or at higher speeds.
The experiences are as old as the recent one you go through, and they haven't gone through any sunce 70's of India, owing to slow improvement in highways. So believing their own judgments they try to cross the highways mostly on slow moving tractors or animal driven carts (yes still available), cycles, or as pedestrians and ...........well same applies for straying animals didn't u see many lying in post mortem positions on highways.
A huge number of highways cross villages and rural area in Indian and thus has left a major number of increase in road accident fatalities. Its mostly either the driver losing control or driving rashly or non sober driving or the poor villagers believing their old instincts.
Also recently i have experienced the road geometrics of these newly and fairly fast constructed highways are not at par, If u drive at permissible speed limits and try to traverse a curve at that you are certainly bound to reduce the speed or otherwise leave the road orbit at your speed turning to escape velocity. In fact in geometrics of roads there is always a study done for sight distance and radius of curvature of roads and the maximum speed which is kept for the roads is the one for which curves are also designed for, this is done for comfort of drivers. Since these geometrics are rarely followed by state and central highway construction contractors and builders most of the accident prone or so called bad vibe places are the one lacking these proper geometrics. ( pretty understandable)
So how is vaastu improving that , I hardly believe its improving anything it must be those pyramids getting attraction of drivers rather than normally kept warning signages or cones and the government framing a policy and results to show to public that it has done something that has improved the condition. Frankly to be very honest would have been to teach villagers and prevent the intrusion of straying animals on highways and some over speeding checks to solve it all...N if u still believe the vaastu reduces accidents then ask the straying animals who are losing same number of friends before as they are today.
