In S. Rajaseekaran v. Union of India & Ors., the Supreme Court addressed road safety and pedestrian protection through a PIL under Article 32. Authorities in 50 cities and NHAI were directed to audit footpaths, crossings, subways, and foot overbridges for compliance with IRC standards, remove encroachments, and implement automated monitoring systems. New pedestrian crossings must be installed, prioritizing accident-prone areas. States and NHAI are required to establish online grievance redressal mechanisms. Strict enforcement of two-wheeler helmet laws and lane discipline was mandated using cameras, dynamic markings, and real-time dashboards. MoRTH and traffic authorities must regulate vehicle lighting, ban unauthorized equipment, and conduct nationwide awareness campaigns. All states and UTs are directed to frame rules under Sections 138(1A) and 210-D of the Motor Vehicles Act to regulate pedestrian activities and ensure proper design, construction, and maintenance of roads.
