Urbanization in India has often promoted infrastructural development as a fundamental approach for addressing the growing demand. A common notion among policy makers is providing better road infrastructure which will alleviate road accident fatalities. In this paper, the authors attempt to evaluate the impact of infrastructural development on road safety. Road accident fatalities and total road length (km) in Bengaluru from 1967 to 2015 were collected and analyzed. A comparative impact analysis of the city’s infrastructural growth (with other parameters like population, population density, and vehicles registered) on fatalities was conducted using negative binomial regression modeling. The authors argue that infrastructure development, as a standalone mechanism, will not be able to tackle the road safety issues in the Indian context. Further, through such studies, the authors expect to change the views of decision makers and enable a paradigm shift in developing effective policies for safe and sustainable city growth.
