As construction vehicles and equipment become more prevalent on the roads, the risk of accidents increases, especially in rural or less-developed areas.

These roads often lack adequate safety measures, such as proper signage, lighting, or barriers, which can help prevent collisions between construction vehicles and local traffic.

Road accidents continue to be a significant issue in India, with thousands of lives lost each year due to collisions involving motor vehicles, pedestrians, and construction-related equipment.

Factors such as poorly maintained roads, lack of enforcement of traffic laws, and the sudden presence of large vehicles on smaller roads contribute to the frequency of accidents.
