LUCKNOW, Nov. 14 -- In a first for Uttar Pradesh, drivers in Gautam Buddh Nagar (Noida) Police will now see live speed limits directly on Google Maps, as the Uttar Pradesh Police has launched a new road safety project titled "Vision Safe Road: An Extra Mile for Accident Mitigation." The move aims to make driving safer by alerting motorists when they exceed prescribed speed limits. Developed by Gautam Buddh Nagar Police in partnership with Google India and Lepton Software Export & Research Pvt. Ltd., Gurugram, the pilot project blends technology with enforcement to reduce accidents caused by overspeeding. It was virtually launched on Wednesday by DGP Rajeev Krishna, who described it as a "life-saving" step that could benefit lakhs. Google Maps will now display the maximum permissible speed limit for the road being travelled on, alongside the vehicle's real-time speed. The live integration will enable motorists to instantly identify whether they are exceeding the limit. Officials said the feature is designed to encourage safer driving habits and reduce overspeeding, one of the leading causes of road fatalities. "Google Maps has become a way of life today. Noida Police's initiative is timely, relevant, and a life-saving intervention. With such technology and community participation, we can bring down road accidents significantly," DGP Rajeev Krishna said at the launch. He added that pilot projects on select national highway stretches in UP had already recorded a decline in accident rates. The DGP also suggested that Google India explore adding audio alerts and visual indicators for ''speed limits'' and ''accident-prone zones'' in future updates to enhance driver awareness....
