Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Thursday highlighted the immediate need for improved road safety measures to put in place and called upon the road construction industry to develop strategies to enhance road safety by adopting newer technologies and sustainable recyclable construction materials. Speaking after inaugurating two-day Global Road Infratech Summit and Expo (GRIS) with the theme "Vision Zero: Sustainable Infratech and Policy for Safer Roads," in New Delhi today, Gadkari observed that most of the road accidents that happen in the country are due to poor civil engineering practices in road design, construction, and management and improper road signages and marking systems.
