The National Highways Authority of India ( NHAI) will install project information sign boards with ‘Quick Response (QR) Codes’ along the National Highway stretches to provide relevant project specific information and emergency helpline numbers to National Highway commutes, a move aimed at enhancing transparency and provide ‘ease of commuting’.
The vertical QR Code Sign Boards will provide project-specific information including National Highway number, highway chainage, project length, construction and maintenance periods, contact numbers for highway patrol, toll manager, project manager, resident engineer, emergency helpline 1033, and NHAI field office.
Besides, it will also provide details about nearby facilities like hospitals, petrol pumps, toilets, police stations, restaurants, distance to toll plaza, truck lay bye, puncher repair shop and vehicle service stations/e-charging station etc, the ministry of road transport and highways said in a statement on Friday.
“For enhanced visibility, the ‘QR Code’ sign boards will be placed near wayside amenities, rest areas, toll plazas, truck lay-byes, highway start and end points, and signages for the convenience of National Highway users,” it said.
Apart from providing specific information about the National Highway stretches and enhancing transparency, the QR code sign boards will not only help to enhance road safety through better access to emergency and local information but also go a long way in improving user experience and awareness about National Highways across the country, it added.
