The National Highway Authority of India is in the process of rolling out an advanced traffic management system. Mandatory for inclusion in all new road projects, this system would improve road safety in India as well as reduce fatal road accidents on national highways. Involving the elimination of black spots on national highways across the country, the system will include immediate identification of the location of areas where traffic bottlenecks occur because of accidents or other reasons as well as immediate provision of information to motorists on that stretch. At present, inform sources, as many as 4,500 black spots have been identified on the national highways. Of these, 2,500 black spots have been rectified. While road safety audits are being conducted at various stages of road construction, including at the end of the project, identification and removal of black spots is also on by NHAI. India, mention sources, accounts for over 10 per cent of the accidents when it comes to global fatal road accidents, This makes it the highest in the world as per the International Road Federation (IRF).
