Highway design has always been an essential factor in ensuring road safety, but recent innovations have the potential to drastically minimize accidents. By integrating advanced materials, human-centered design, and smart technologies, roads can become not only more efficient but markedly safer. The question remains, however: how can we effectively implement these innovations on a large

The ceaseless evolution of road design, aimed at the prevention of accidents, has witnessed a monumental transformation from rudimentary paths to complex systems that guarantee safety. Over time, innovations such as traffic signals, road markings, and roundabouts have been introduced to manage vehicular flow and mitigate collision risks. In more recent years, the advent of

In the late 19th century, the first traffic lights emerged as manually operated signals, effectively guiding horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians through busy intersections. The inaugural gas-lit traffic light, installed in London in 1868, faced numerous challenges but nonetheless, was instrumental in paving the way for electric signals in the early 20th century. The advent of

The advent of the automobile in the late 19th century, while a significant leap forward regarding mobility, also brought forth unprecedented hazards. Early accidents, particularly the first recorded automobile fatality in 1896, spotlighted a glaring absence of safety regulations, propelling the introduction of speed limits and the standardization of road signs. This correlation between early
