While the Shirdi-Bharvir stretch of the Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi highway near Nashik was opened on Friday, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has taken measures to prevent road accidents by installing impact attenuator technology on this stretch. According to officials from the MSRDC, this technology reduces the impact of accidents, thereby minimising serious injuries to motorists.
Impact attenuators, also known as highway impact attenuators or crash cushions, are devices designed to absorb the momentum and kinetic energy of colliding vehicles, thereby reducing the damage caused to other vehicles, drivers, or surrounding structures.
