Residents and visitors to Noida and Greater Noida should exercise caution as certain roads present significant safety hazards. Familiarising oneself with these hazardous roads and taking necessary precautions is essential to ensure personal safety.
Four black spots, areas with a statistically high occurrence of accidents, have been identified in Noida and Greater Noida. Motorists frequently using these routes are urged to exercise increased caution.
The number of road accidents resulting in injuries is consistently rising at these four locations in Noida and Greater Noida, which have been designated as black spots due to this concerning trend.
These include Badlapur, Pari Chowk, Sector 62, and Sector 39 District Hospital. These frequently used roads are known for their heavy traffic congestion, which contributes to a high number of accidents and injuries.
To address this issue, the Gautam Buddha Nagar Health Department has deployed 14 ambulances in these four locations. This initiative enables injured persons to be taken to the hospital immediately by dialling 108. The ambulances will operate from 7 am to 10 pm during peak hours and will cover an area of 10 to 12 kilometres. Each ambulance will be staffed with a driver and an EMT.
Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari recently made a significant announcement. Following a meeting with state Transport Ministers in Delhi, he declared that individuals who transport accident victims to hospitals within the crucial “golden hour” will receive a reward of Rs 10,000. This initiative aims to encourage immediate assistance and potentially save lives. A formal notification detailing the policy is expected to be released shortly.
