“The barricades kept at crucial junctions in our jurisdiction will have these illuminated barricades in the night hours. We have plans to make it permanent from January 1,” said inspector Venkat. He said the blinkers would be powered by batteries that would be charged during the day at the police stations. With drag racing on Kamrajar Salai having become very common, the illuminated barricades are expected to act as a deterrent to youngsters speeding on the road.
