Convex mirrors installed in highways in Dhading

DHADING: In a bid to minimise the increasing road accident cases, the Department of Road in collaboration with the Traffic Police, has installed convex mirror in various road turns in the highways and road sections in Dhading district.

As many as 30 convex mirrors were installed in Tribhuvan Highway, Prithvi Highway, Malekhu-Dhadingbesi road section among others.

“The main motive is to make the drivers aware of the vehicular movement along the turns at the accident prone sites,” said Inspector Krishna Raj Sapkota at the Gajuri Traffic Police Office.

Convex mirror allows drivers to see vehicles coming from the opposite direction at turns in the road.

Earlier, the some 50 mirrors were installed along the East-West highway in Nawalparasi on January.
