NHAI to Install QR-Code Signboards on National Highways

The ministry frames the QR rollout as a transparency and safety measure with standardized access to project data.

Overview

  • Signboards will be placed at wayside amenities, rest areas, toll plazas, truck lay-byes, and project start and end points for high visibility.
  • Each QR code will display project identifiers such as the National Highway number, chainage, length, and construction and maintenance periods.
  • Contact details will include the highway patrol, toll manager, project manager, resident engineer, NHAI field office, and the emergency helpline 1033.
  • Travellers will get digital access to nearby services including hospitals, fuel stations, toilets, police stations, restaurants, repair shops, toll plazas, truck lay-byes, and EV charging stations.
  • Revised specifications require materials with at least 10 years of readability and mandate replacement within 30 days if a board is damaged or faded.
