Automatic headlamps on two-wheelers may soon be restricted to low-beam mode, while buses and other heavy vehicles could be required to use genuine reflective tapes to improve visibility at night and during poor weather conditions.
The proposed changes are part of a wider set of road safety measures aimed at reducing glare and improving visibility for motorists. According to a TOI report, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has proposed amendments to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, with the new safety norms expected to come into effect from April next year.
