Authors & editorial team

Ajay founded SignalPe to make India’s road rules, penalties and highway information verifiable in one place. He sets the editorial standard the site works to: every published figure is traced to a primary government source before it goes live, and corrections are published rather than quietly patched.

The SignalPe Desk is the shared byline for pages maintained collectively by the editorial team — reference tables, data listings and pages that are re-verified on a schedule rather than owned by a single writer. Desk pages follow the same sourcing rules as bylined ones.

Ramanathan covers India’s road network for SignalPe — national highway routes and numbering, expressway corridors, and the construction status of projects under way. Completion dates on infrastructure projects move constantly, so his pages state the current official target and the date it was last checked.

Manju covers motor vehicle law and compliance — the Motor Vehicles Act and the rules under it, penalty amounts and the sections they come from, and the procedural side of registration, licensing and transfer. Where a rule sets out a power rather than a fixed outcome, her pages say so instead of quoting a figure as if it were statutory.

Vijay works on the transport datasets behind SignalPe — RTO codes, registration series, state-wise road and accident statistics, and the reference tables the rest of the site is built on. His pages carry the reference date of the underlying government release, because transport statistics are published with a lag.
