State-owned NHAI has undertaken road safety measures to counter reduced visibility due to foggy conditions, an official statement said on Saturday. Mitigation measures have been classified under two heads — engineering measures and safety awareness measures — to enhance road safety during foggy conditions, it added.
The guidelines also encourage NHAI officials to create awareness among highway users to use blinkers and follow traffic rules.
In addition, the statement said that NHAI field offices have been directed to undertake nighttime highway inspection on a weekly basis by a team consisting of NHAI officials, independent engineers, and concessionaire/contractor to assess visibility on the highway and identify locations for installing additional provisions as required.
