Amandeep Kaur, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP), Traffic, said MapmyIndia would provide its web and mobile-based app integrated with detailed digital maps, navigation information, advisories and planning by the traffic police to citizens.
Apart from updating commuters about daily traffic advisories, events such as processions, protests, rallies, VIP movement, road closures and diversions, the app would also provide vital road safety information addressing concerns like black spots, dangerous turns, updated speed limits and accident-prone zones to users, the ADCP said.
