The Jaipur range police have linked 93 high‑risk road locations to Google Maps, triggering audio and visual warnings for motorists as they approach.
The Jaipur range police have completed a digital integration of 93 identified accident‑prone "black spots" into the Google Maps platform. The move aims to enhance road safety by providing motorists with an audible and on‑screen alert the moment they enter the vicinity of these high‑risk zones.
The alerts are generated automatically through Google Maps' location services, ensuring that drivers receive the warning without needing any additional app or device. Police officials said the system will help reduce collisions by prompting drivers to slow down and exercise extra caution.
The initiative is part of a broader road‑safety campaign launched by the Rajasthan police, which includes increased signage, speed‑monitoring equipment, and public awareness drives. Authorities will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the alerts and may expand the program to cover more locations in the future.
Local commuters have welcomed the technology, noting that real‑time warnings could be especially useful in congested urban areas where black spots are often overlooked. The police have urged motorists to heed the alerts and follow safe driving practices at all times.
