Madhya Pradesh has chosen nine districts for a road-safety program called Zero Fatality.
Indore, Bhopal and Ujjain were added to six districts selected earlier.
The goal is to prevent anyone from dying in a road accident.
Justice Abhay Manohar Sapre said this will require several government departments to work together.
Officials in Indore discussed dangerous road locations called black spots.
They also talked about making roads safer for people who walk.

He asked authorities to enforce helmet rules and teach road safety in schools and colleges.
