Automated signages through small LED projectors have been installed at black spots, known for fatal accidents, between Walajah town in Ranipet and Tirupattur district on Chennai-Bengaluru Highway (NH 44) to prevent accidents during nights.
Officials of National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), which executed the work, said that at present, warning signages on metal boards along the stretch were available to caution motorists during day-time.
However, the stretch does not have such warning signages especially during night when frequent accidents are reported. “The initiative, which is being taken for the first time, will help save lives on the highways. The stimulated signages alert motorists while driving at nights on the highway,” said an NHAI official.
