Amar Mahal Junction tops the list of high risk junctions of the city, as per a report released by the Mumbai Traffic Police in collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety. The Mumbai Road Safety Annual Report 2020 reveals that the junction witnessed 23 fatalities and 54 serious injuries due to road accidents from 2018 to 2020.
This is followed by Godrej Junction with 16 fatalities and 57 serious injuries, and the intersection of Eastern Express Highway and JVLR in Kanjurmarg East with 11 fatalities and 57 serious injuries. The department is considering engineering and traffic regulations to reduce fatalities at the junctions. Though the year 2020 saw a decline in road accidents due to the COVID-19 lockdown, 350 people died in such incidents.
