The induced impacts associated with increased traffic on the improved road can be overcome by a variety of measures, e.g., imposition of tolls to discourage/divert non-essential traffic, and the imposition of speed limits along the forested section of the road. For reducing the blinding effect of oncoming vehicles, the luminous intensity of the headlights of vehicles using the road can be reduced by enforcing the use of hoods on headlights. In India, this reduction in the intensity of headlights is being achieved by painting the upper halves of the headlight surfaces black.
