Speed limit on Noida and Yamuna Expressway to reduce from December 15
Officials added that the speed limit for heavy vehicles will remain 60 km/hr on the Yamuna Expressway and 50 km/hr on the Noida Expressway.
The speed limit for light vehicles on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and Yamuna Expressway will be reduced to 75 kilometres per hour (km/hr) from 100 km/hr from December 15, said officials on Friday.
Officials added that the speed limit for heavy vehicles will remain 60 km/hr on the Yamuna Expressway and 50 km/hr on the Noida Expressway.
Traffic police said low visibility and slippery roads during winters make high-speed driving unsafe.
The speed limit is usually lowered for two months starting December 15, they added.
Dr. Pravin Ranjan Singh, deputy commissioner of police (Noida Traffic) said, “A meeting will be conducted with the Noida Authority soon to review the situation and the speed limit will be reduced. The revised limit will also be visible on Google Maps, an initiative taken in November, the road safety month.”
JK Sharma, senior manager for Yamuna Expressway toll operations, said that the toll plaza staff are issuing safety advisories through public address systems. “We are distributing pamphlets, offering tea to night-shift truck drivers, and using reflective tapes on commercial vehicles to improve visibility,” said Sharma.
Sharma added that the staff at Jewar, Mathura, and Agra plazas are sensitising drivers about traffic rules and patrol teams are continuously monitoring the expressway.
