Why new speed limits have been imposed on Noida Expressway

The roads near Delhi are the most unsafe in the country, and the winter fog makes them even deadlier. To prevent road accidents due to low visibility, the Noida police have set new speed limits for vehicles traveling on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. Starting from 15 December, the speed limit on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway will be capped at 75 km per hour for light vehicles and 50 km per hour for heavy vehicles for two months, the Gautam Buddh Nagar police said Monday. The Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, which spans over 25 km and has six lanes, is a high-speed corridor that connects Noida and Greater Noida in the Gautam Buddh Nagar district adjacent to Delhi. It sees heavy traffic on a regular basis, with thousands of vehicles using the expressway. As of 15 December, the speed limit on the Yamuna Expressway has been reduced to 75 km per hour for light vehicles and 60 km per hour for heavy trucks. This restriction will be in effect until 15 February. **Also Read: Which city recorded the highest number of road accidents in India?** According to officials, the maximum speed restriction on the two critical expressways is 100 km per hour for light cars and 80 km per hour for heavy vehicles in normal conditions. However, due to safety concerns associated with winter fog, these limits have been temporarily decreased to 75 km per hour for light vehicles and 60 km per hour for heavy vehicles throughout the designated period. “In order to prevent and reduce road accidents due to reduced visibility on the roads during the winter season, the speed limit of vehicles plying on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway has been decreased from 15 December, 2023, to 15 February, 2024. The upper speed limit will be 50 kmph for heavy vehicles and 75 km per hour for light vehicles,” the police said in a statement.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Anil Kumar Yadav said violation of road safety rules will be met with legal proceedings in the form of challan. **In Graphics | Why India's roads are so deadly** “A fine of Rs 2,000 will be slapped against those found flouting speed limit norms in the Gautam Buddh Nagar police Commissionerate area. Also, the driving licence of those getting more than three challans could be suspended and repeat offence may even lead to cancellation of registration of their vehicles,” Yadav told PTI. According to officials, around one thousand road accidents have been reported so far this year in which nearly 400 lives have been lost across Noida and Greater Noida. Over 14 lakh challans have been issued against offenders this year, more than double of 2022, they said. With inputs from PTI
