NHAI to install advanced traffic management systems in new highways
RK Pandey, an NHAI official, told the media that corrective actions were taken to remove black spots on national highways while addressing a virtual meeting organised by the International Road Federation (IRF).
He stated that the new national highways developed under NHAI will follow the ATMS as a step to better road safety and reduced road accidents.
Features of ATMS includes immediate tracing of locations where traffic jams occur due to accidents or other reasons, instantly passing information to motorists in those areas.
Pandey added that the team has presently identified 4,500 black spots and repaired 2,500 of them on the national highways.
Further added that inspections on road safety had been taken at multiple stages of construction including the end of the project and that measures have been taken in removing blacks spots from the existing highways.
According to the IRF, India has the highest number of deadly road accidents and is accountable for more than 10% of global road accidents.
