These will also have advance exit signage at 5 km, 2 km, 1 km and 500 metres to help motorists prepare for lane changes well in advance.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>The design provisions are aimed at improving safety on access-controlled corridors where cars are allowed to travel at speeds of up to 100 kmph. <!-- -->Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, Ambala-Kotputli corridor and Trans-Haryana corridor are among such highways.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>NHAI said the guidelines seek to bring uniformity in the planning and design of access-controlled high-speed corridors and ensure consistency in technical standards across projects.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>\u201cThe guidelines will apply to all upcoming four-lane and six-lane greenfield and brownfield access-controlled high-speed national highways,\u201d an NHAI spokesperson said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Officials said eliminating median cuts and surface intersections will prevent dangerous cross movements and wrong-side driving, while standardised signage and geometric design will improve traffic flow and reduce the risk of high-speed crashes on the new generation of national highway corridors.<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>The move is significant as govt has set a target of developing 50,000 km of access-controlled high-speed corridors over the coming years.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>At present, there are no separate standards governing the planning and design of access-controlled high-speed national highways, except for expressways.

Depending on the expected traffic volume and the number of structures such as bridges, flyovers and interchanges, these corridors will have a right of way of 60 metres or 70 metres.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/no-median-cuts-surface-intersections-on-future-high-speed-nh-corridors-nhai\/articleshow\/134397321.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A view of the Barapullah Phase-3 elevated corridor that is scheduled to be inaugurated on September 29, 2026, in New Delhi on Saturday.
