India’s rising fatality numbers on National Highways accentuate a pressing need for road safety measures and infrastructure upgrades. The introduction of Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) by NHAI aims to modernize highway monitoring through technology by facilitating quicker responses to incidents,perhaps mitigating both fatalities and traffic disruptions.
Safety audits covering more than one lakh kilometers reflect meaningful governmental efforts to analyze risks systematically. Tho, the effectiveness of these interventions will likely depend on their extensive implementation across India’s vast highway network.
With over half a year still remaining in 2025, the stark number of fatalities so far signals an urgent call for intensified focus not just on technology but also public awareness campaigns addressing safe driving behaviors.
