described the initiative as a practical road safety intervention aimed at making road edges and median ends more visible to motorists.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that faded kerbs and poorly defined medians often pose dangers, especially at night and during rainy conditions, and said the repainting would help reduce accidents and improve driving conditions across the city.<\/p>\n<figure
