Noida, Nov. 14 -- The Noida police in partnership with Google India has launched an initiative that will display vehicles' current and maximum speed on Noida Expressway, Yamuna Expressway, Elevated Road, and other roads on Google Maps in the district, in a bid to prevent accidents and raise road safety awareness. "As part of this initiative, the maximum speed limits set by competent authorities for different categories of vehicles, including heavy, medium, light, two-wheelers, etc. across various routes and sections in Noida will be displayed live on Google Maps," GB Nagar police commissioner Laxmi Singh said during an event "Vision Safe Road: An Extra Mile For Accident Mitigation" held at the police commissionerate on Wednesday. Singh, in a statement, said that the motorists will be able to view both their actual driving speed and the maximum permissible speed limit on Google Maps while navigating. "This will help them easily identify whether they are driving within the prescribed limit or exceeding it. The alert will automatically encourage drivers to regulate their speed," she added. "The new technology-driven initiative aims to make motorists more aware of the importance of adhering to these limits, " the police said, adding that speeding remains the leading cause of road accidents.
