New rule has been implemented on Yamuna Expressway regarding the speed of vehicles. Those who do not follow it will be fined. Light vehicles will not be able to run above 75 and heavy vehicles above 60 on Yamuna Expressway. This decision has been taken as a precaution in view of the accidents caused by fog. Light vehicles will be fined Rs 2000 for breaking the rule.
Yamuna Expressway Speed Limit: Drivers driving at high speed on Yamuna Expressway should be cautious to avoid fines. Now if light vehicles drive at a speed of more than 75 km per hour and heavy vehicles at a speed of more than 60 km per hour on the expressway, a fine will be imposed. To prevent the possibility of accidents due to dense fog, the previously set time limit on the expressway has been changed from Sunday.
Decision taken due to fog
Yamuna Vikas Pradhikaran has issued a letter regarding this change. Officers of the authority believe that visibility on roads reduces due to fog in winter, which makes driving difficult.
The roads are also slippery, which increases the risk of accidents. To protect drivers from such an untoward incident, it has been decided to reduce the speed limit on the Yamuna Expressway.
