Noida,

9 Dec (HS): As is the case every year, the Yamuna Expressway is preparing to

reduce the speed limit due to fog. It is reported that the new speed limit will

come into effect on December 15. The Yamuna Development Authority has not yet

received any correspondence regarding the matter.

In

winter, driving becomes difficult due to reduced visibility on the roads owing

to fog. Due to cold, there is a possibility of accidents as the roads remain

slippery. To avoid any untoward incident, a plan has been made to reduce the

speed limit on Yamuna Expressway and it is being considered to implement it

from December 15. Due to winter, the management is preparing to reduce the

speed limit for light vehicles from 100 kmph to 75 kmph and for heavy vehicles

from 80 kmph to 60 kmph. Senior Manager of Yamuna Expressway JK Sharma said

today that the changes can be made by December 15. For this, the correspondence

from the authority is awaited.
