As accidents on the Nagpur-Mumbai stretch of the Samruddhi Mahamarg continue to grab the headlines, the authorities have started placing huge artificial boulders and tall fake flowers on the stretch to prevent highway hypnosis. 

A Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) official said, “We have initiated the placement of colourful artificial boulders and flowers along the median of the Samruddhi Expressway between Vaijapur and Sindkhed Raja to mitigate highway hypnosis and enhance motorists’ attention.”
