Millions of trucks transport variety of goods throughout different parts of the country. However there are some highways where the number of trucks plying in those routes is considerably higher. Also some of those routes may be prone to accidents. Also, in some cases (in a two lane per direction roads), I have observed that trucks do not follow lane discipline and two slow moving trucks occupy both the lanes and move in parallel, thereby hindering traffic.
Proposed solution: Prepare a system where in such routes, a number of trucks can be ferried by a larger truck. These larger truck drivers should be properly trained. These trucks can move at a constant max speed and will use only the right-most lane. Such a measures will translate to reduction in pollution, conservation of diesel, free flow of traffic in highways and reducing chances of accidents. Also more railway routes should incorporate the principles of Roll on Roll off methodology as adopted by Konkan Railways.
