| ![]() This is such good news. Been travelling a lot in NH45 and I myself have noticed several spots which seem very dangerous. There are several blind spots. I think the following measures should be considered 1. Proper dividers in between the roads that block opposite traffic head lights. 2. Dividers must be removed at least 100 meters ahead of a intersection. 3. Proper reflectors fitted on places where there exist bridges. 4. Better sign boards indicating the nature of some sharp bends. 5. All roads must be painted with the lane lines and the end of road white lines. There are several stretches especially in the Trichy Madurai section where the roads have not been painted and it is a real pain to travel at night. 6. In certain roads down south there were stretches where the highway was used as a TWO-WAY and no indication or board whatsoever was present. These are just a few things I have noticed while driving through the highways. Feel free to add more. ![]() Last edited by GTO : 6th June 2016 at 12:51. Reason: Typos |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Looks like they are finally approaching this problem scientifically. Looking at all those graphs, they have got the first step right -> data collection. Southern states seem to have an unusually large number of black spots. |

| ![]() Good list of points just_in! Quote:
If you're talking about tall dividers, I'd assume it's for visibility. But if you're talking about the 10" tall dividers we commonly see in cities, I'd be interested to know why... Last edited by Rehaan : 7th June 2016 at 13:19. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() If only there were speed breakers at the places where rural/town roads join the highways, a lot of lives would be saved. NH45 has a lot of intersections where tractors and mopeds just join on the highway without looking for oncoming traffic nor slowing down. |

Infractions: 0/1 (4) | ![]() Would be a great service to put out the GPS co-ordinates of these places. These can be loaded as POIs in PNDs and can warn drivers. Will be ideal community content for devices like tomtom. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() A step in the right direction. Interesting to see, while Tamil Nadu has the largest number of priority 1s and Kerala has a fair share of high priority spots, the adjoining Karnataka has surprisingly lesser number of high priority spots. I was expecting to see a much higher number for KA. So, something must be better in KA roads. Or, is it because the classification is based on fatalities and not number of accidents (still KA is doing something better) PS: Focusing these three states since almost all of my drives are within these three.

| ![]() You know what?! This is one heck of a good idea. If they could publish these with all the map makers as a category of POI it serves a huge advantage! Suddenly lot many more people driving across unknown highways are now warned of an impending risk spot. |
