Yamuna Expressways New Speed Limits: Overspeeding on Noida-Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway can now prove costly. The government has reduced the speed limit on Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway from today.
This decision has been taken keeping in mind road safety, especially in the winter months when the risk of accidents increases due to fog and slippery roads. The aim of the new rules is to make traffic safe and reduce the number of accidents.
According to a report by NDTV, visibility reduces on foggy winter mornings and roads become slippery due to cold. In such a situation, high speed of vehicles becomes the main cause of accidents. Experts say that driving slowly is the safest solution in these circumstances. For this reason, it has been decided to reduce the speed limit.
What is the new speed limit?
Under the new rules, the speed limit for light vehicles on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway has been reduced from 100 kmph to 75 kmph. For heavy vehicles, this limit has been reduced from 60 kmph to 50 kmph. On the other hand, the new speed limit for light vehicles on the Yamuna Expressway has been reduced from 100 kmph to 75 kmph and for heavy vehicles from 80 kmph to 60 kmph.
Any driver who violates the new speed limit will have to pay a fine. The fine amount has been fixed at Rs 2,000 for light vehicles and Rs 4,000 for heavy vehicles. The aim of this strict step is to motivate drivers to follow the rules and make the road safe.
What was the speed limit earlier?
Till now, the speed limit on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway was 100 kmph for light vehicles and 60 kmph for heavy vehicles. On the Yamuna Expressway, the limit was 100 and 80 kmph respectively. The new speed limit will be effective till the winter season and will be strictly enforced to give priority to safety.
