New Highway Rules: With the beginning of the new year, the central government has announced new guidelines for sign boards on highways and expressways. The guidelines, which will come into effect from January 24, are aimed at providing clear, standardized and timely information to road users. Through these changes, efforts are being made to reduce the increasing accidents and make traffic more organized.
speed limit and warning sign board
Under the new system, signs will be placed before potentially dangerous spots such as rumble strips, to give drivers time to control their speed. Speed limit information will be given by sign boards every five kilometers. These boards are designed in such a way that drivers can easily read and understand them.
Uniformity of sign boards will increase
The Ministry of Road Transport has standardized the size and color of letters and numbers used on sign boards. This step will increase uniformity in sign boards and make them easier to understand. Besides, arrangements have also been made to clearly display the speed limits of different vehicles on the same board.
No parking and pedestrian safety
‘No parking’ boards will be installed every five kilometers to reduce accidents and traffic jams. Apart from this, giving priority to the safety of pedestrians, arrangements have been made to give advance information about the crossing.
