Google Maps to Warn Delhi Drivers of Accident Hotspots
What Happened
Delhi Traffic Police has partnered with Google India and MapMyIndia to introduce alerts for accident-prone zones ("black spots") and display road speed limits on navigation apps. Commuters will receive warnings before entering high-risk stretches. The initiative aims to improve road safety by giving drivers real-time information about dangerous locations and applicable speed limits, encouraging more cautious and informed driving.
