Delhi Traffic Police has partnered with Google India and MapMyIndia to alert drivers about accident-prone areas through navigation apps. When a vehicle approaches a designated sensitive stretch, Google Maps and MapMyIndia will show an alert, warning the driver to slow down and drive carefully. Speed limits will also be displayed to help prevent over-speeding crashes. Delhi Traffic Police already shares real-time information on traffic jams, diversions and road closures through these platforms. The force says the initiative, announced on August 7, 2026, aims to make city roads safer and smarter using technology.
