Gurugram, Google Launch Real-Time Speed-Limit and Hazard Alerts on 129 Roads

Police describe an Android-first step that will grow to 200-plus corridors alongside ANPR, drones and digital challans.

Overview

  • The in-app prompts aim to curb overspeeding and abrupt lane changes by giving drivers real-time speed limits and warnings for accident-prone stretches.
  • Initial availability is on Android devices, with authorities planning to expand coverage to more than 200 roads by early next year.
  • High-risk corridors in the rollout include the Dwarka Expressway, NH-48, the KMP Expressway and Golf Course Extension Road.
  • Traffic police say the alerts are part of a layered road-safety push that adds ANPR cameras, drone monitoring and digital challans to on-ground enforcement.
  • Officials point to a heavy crash toll—448 deaths in 2024 and hundreds more this year—and note recent FIRs against five rash drivers on NH-48 under Section 285 of the BNS.
