India Proposes New Headlight Rules to Reduce Glare and Improve Road Safety
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) in India has proposed new regulations to enhance road safety by reducing headlight glare. Key proposals include limiting new two-wheelers to automatic low-beam headlights, lowering maximum headlight intensity for cars and bikes, capping headlight colour temperature, introducing high-beam alerts in cities, and requiring reflective tapes on heavy vehicles. These measures aim to improve nighttime visibility and reduce glare for oncoming drivers, with possible implementation from April next year.
