Patrolling on five important ORR stretches have also been on since January 2014. Some of the patrolling vehicles are equipped with speed guns and breath analysers. Also, i think that the Cyberabad police also has done a very good job by claiming that the measure to reduce the accidents on the ORR has become considerably reduced.

You know what, there are many initiatives that are taken by the police and the traffic police to reduce the number of accidents in the ORR. The measures taken to decrease accidents on ORR are display of safety signage, patrolling services, ambulance services, tow vehicle services etc.

I think that on ORR, the driver should take the lanes as per their speed. There are also precautions to be taken, when switching lines. However, many ignore it leading to fatal road mishaps.

Yeah..that's true today also. Most violations refer to vehicles driven on the wrong side and lane violations. Four patrolling vehicles and electronic surveillance at some points are cracking down on the violators on a daily basis.

In my opinion, the Outer Ring Road has emerged as the hub of road rule violations as compared to any other road. More than 250 violations were reported in the high speed corridor in a single week, when the Cyberabad police conducted an enforcement drive.

I also heard about the programme. The programme is designed to help ORR users know the rules and guidelines to be followed on ORR. Currently, 138 km is open to traffic on ORR out of the total length of 158 km. Vehicular traffic on ORR is around 30,000 per day.

Oh..there are many campaigns going on against road accidents. With an objective of bringing awareness about road safety to the ORR users, the HMDA, in association with the Cyberabad police, is organising a Traffic Safety Week from April 11 to 17.
