In an effort to reduce accidents on the Nagpur Mumbai Expressway (Samruddhi Mahamarg) stretch, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has initiated various safety measures. Colourful flags are being installed on the median to prevent road hypnosis, rumblers are being placed every 25 kilometres, and median crash barriers are being installed. The MSRDC is also incorporating precautionary signages, reflective tapes, solar blinkers, and public announcement systems at toll plazas to enhance safety awareness.

Sanjay Yadav, joint managing director of MSRDC, stated, “We have implemented these measures to address the accidents occurring on the Samruddhi expressway, aiming to prevent road hypnosis. Crash barriers, rumblers, and other safety installations will further enhance safety.  Public announcement systems at toll plazas are being used to urge drivers to exercise caution. All these efforts are taken because most of the accidents have taken place due to human errors like overspending, rash driving, lane cutting, loss of control, bad tyres, overtaking from wrong sides.”
