If we did not make somebody Poor;
And Mercy no more could be
If all were as happy as we.

Till the selfish loves increase:

And spreads his baits with care.
He sits down with holy fears,

Then Humility takes its root
Underneath his foot.

Thou in our wonder and astonishment
Hast built thy self a live-long Monument.

Modern technology plays a vital role in reducing road accidents and improving traffic flow. A study in three major cities — Delhi, Bengaluru, and Mumbai — found that using smart cameras, GPS tracking, and automated traffic lights improved safety significantly. AI-based monitoring systems detect traffic violations and alert authorities instantly. Drivers using navigation apps report fewer delays and accidents. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), like lane departure warnings and automatic braking, have made vehicles safer.

Mobile apps now alert drivers about congested routes and road hazards. In India, the introduction of e-challan systems has improved traffic rule enforcement and reduced human error. Moreover, data from surveillance cameras helps authorities identify accident-prone areas for quick intervention. Technology not only saves time but also saves lives by ensuring safer, smarter roads.
