Traffic congestion and pedestrian safety issues are observed at the Dharmatala crossing, also known as Esplanade or Dorina Crossing, in Central Kolkata, West Bengal, India, on October 6, 2026. This historic intersection connects six major roads in front of the Historic Metropolitan Building and serves as a vital transit hub for the city. Drivers often ignore pedestrian lanes, forcing walkers into traffic, and frequently fail to yield to pedestrians waiting to cross. Additionally, faded road markings reduce visibility, while pedestrians sometimes disregard rules by crossing in unsafe areas. India has one of the highest rates of road fatalities globally, with over 1.7 lakh lives lost annually from more than 4.8 lakh crashes. Although it has just 1% of the world's vehicles, the country accounts for about 11% of global road deaths, significantly affecting its working-age population and economy. Traffic congestion in India is caused by rapid urbanization, a growing number of private vehicles, and inadequate infrastructure.
