Considering speed and lane violations are the major causes of crashes, the road transport ministry has now made it mandatory for road owning agencies to paint the speed limits with vehicle logos on the pavement every 10 km to guide and alert the drivers on expressways and National Highways.
The ministry this week notified comprehensive guidelines for “Signage on Expressways and NHs” which will come into force from Feb, 2025. Signage and road markings are key for safe driving since these are considered as the language of the road and every driver is supposed to have sound knowledge of this for safe driving.
Taking note of how highway commuters often miss the mandatory and informative signs such as speed limits, exit points and directions, the ministry has mandated placement of bigger signage at frequent intervals. For example, the speed limit signage must be placed every 5 km.
As per the guidelines, the highway owning agencies will have to ensure putting “no parking” signage every 5 km to inform the drivers. The guidelines also say that the emergency helpline number must be displayed every 5 km.
