Hot spots, identified as most accident-prone junctions in Ranipet district, will be much safer as the district police installed solar-powered road safety equipment, including automated traffic signals, barricades, reflectors, tree-reflector lights and solar studs at these junctions on Wednesday.
Superintendent of Police (SP) D. V. Kiran Shruthi launched the initiative at Santhamedu junction in Ranipet town. After getting bifurcated from Vellore district in mid-2019, Ranipet district has such solar-powered traffic signals and other road safety facilities only at Muthukadai junction near Walajah.
