Trucks parked on daily basis and as well overnight on our badly lit or dark highways are cause for many accidents and deaths.
The RTO must organize a HIGHWAY PATROL, whereby it will not allow any truck to be parked on the side on the Highway and Service Roads on all days. Special well-lit areas, preferably beside Petrol Stations must be facilitated for parking of long-haul trucks overnight or on a daily basis for a fee.
The parking of local trucks, half-lorries, tempos, taxis, etc. on the Service Roads and Highways must be banned completely. The owners should park near their homes – but definitely not on public roads. Especially those HP and BP tankers and trucks that are seen parked everywhere and anywhere.
I hope the government will take appropriate action. The government should be pro-active in all public matters – they are one of the reasons for such road accidents.
