According to the advisory put out by Noida police traffic, diversions would be effected at places including the Chilla border, the DND Loop, the Film City flyover, Sector 18, Sector 27, the elevated road, NTPC underpass and the Sector 31-25 intersection. Other places where traffic would be diverted include the Gijhor intersection, routes around Sector 60, Model Town, and the Shilp Haat at Sector 33.

"The traffic going from the Chilla border to Greater Noida will be able to reach the destination via the DSC route from Sector 14 A flyover to the Sector 15 roundabout. Vehicles going from DND border to Greater Noida will be able to reach their destination via Sector 18 from the Rajnigandha Chowk," the police said.

However, emergency vehicles will be allowed to pass during the period of diversion, they said. "In case of traffic inconvenience, you can contact the traffic helpline number 9971009001. Please use alternative routes to avoid inconvenience," the police added.

Meanwhile, the speed limit on the Yamuna Expressway and Noida-Greater Noida Expressway has been increased to 100km/hr for light vehicles from February 16. It was reduced to 75km/hr on December 15 last year following road accidents due to fog.

“The limit has been increased but people need to use their judgment while driving. Despite the norms, Yamuna Expressway has one of the highest number of speeding challans even when the limit is 100km/hr" said Anil Yadav, deputy commissioner of police (traffic).
