Barricades, signage and reflectors will come up on the Chennai-Bangalore Highway (NH 48), covering a distance of around three km, in Ambur to prevent rash driving. A speed limit of less than 40 kmph, especially in the town area, will be enforced.
The measures were decided on Friday after two sisters were killed on the spot when a container lorry hit their two-wheeler from behind on the highway in Ambur on Thursday. A team of officials drawn from the Tirupattur district administration, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Departments of Revenue, Highways and Police inspected the accident spot.
