Many of accidents reported on the highways are due to overspeeding and also due to vehicles ramming stationary trucks parked on road margins.
On the long stretches of highways, especially on four-way highway, there is least enforcement for it is practically impossible for enforcement officials to be present everywhere at all the time.
However, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has come up with a digital solution for these perilous menace. The NHAI has started fixing closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras on the entire stretch of Madurai-Kanniyakumari four-way highway. Besides, it is also fixing speed camera radars which will display the speed of vehicles on digital boards to alert drivers.
