Kaushal said that changing lanes frequently by heavy vehicles is one of the major causes of accidents on highways. Therefore, sign boards should be installed on the left sides of roads for the movement of passengers and heavy vehicles and this rule should also be strictly followed.
He said that adequate lighting arrangements, sign boards and beautification work should be done on all the highways. Apart from this, reflective tapes and sign boards should also be set up to reduce the chances of accidents at blind spots and crossings during night time.
A budget of about Rs 36 crore has been approved for the road safety activities and to improve infrastructure this year.
It was informed in the meeting that a road safety awareness campaign is being run by the higher education department to make college students aware about road safety measures.
