Delhi Traffic Police Plans to Map High-Risk 'Black Spots' on Google Maps

The mapping feature will use last year’s accident data to warn drivers in real time.

Overview

  • The Delhi Traffic Police identified 111 black spots in 2024 after recording 1,132 crashes, 483 of which were fatal.
  • Officials completed internal procedures this month and are coordinating with Google and road-owning agencies on the integration.
  • A black spot is defined as the midpoint of a stretch where accidents recur within a 500-metre radius on both sides.
  • By July 2025, authorities had added 25 more high-risk locations following 176 accidents, 88 of them fatal.
  • High-traffic corridors such as Outer Ring Road, Ring Road and GT Karnal Road account for dozens of these flagged black spots.
