Delhi Police Proposes Redesign of Accident-Prone U-Turn
Imagine a U-turn on a busy road where cars keep bumping into each other.
The police noticed this happening a lot and want to make it safer.
They're asking the government to change the U-turn's shape and add things like barriers and better signs.
This is to stop cars from crashing and make it easier to drive.
It's all because an NGO complained about how dangerous the U-turn is.
The goal is to prevent accidents and keep everyone safe on the road by making changes to the road layout.
Delhi Traffic Police proposed redesigning a U-turn on Ring Road near Brar Square.
The U-turn has been the site of numerous accidents.
The Delhi Traffic Police wrote to the Public Works Department (PWD) to consider the changes.
The proposal came after a complaint from an NGO, Guru Hanuman.
Proposed changes include removing the U-turn's nose, installing barriers and adding safety measures.
