NHAI to write to Delhi cops for raising NH-9 speed limit
NEW DELHI: Delhiites travelling to Indirapuram, Greater Noida and Hindon and vice versa could soon zoom down Delhi-Meerut Expressway at 120/100 kmph as the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) plans to write a letter to Delhi Police for raising the speed limits.
Currently, the speed limit on the e-way is 70 kmph for Light Motor Vehicle and 40 kmph for goods carrier, according to the speed limit signboards. The move is likely to provide much-needed relief to commuters who often complain of being issued e-challans, for driving above 60 kmph, by Delhi Traffic Police using the over speed violation detection camera systems.
In view of complaints being received from general public, the traffic inspector of Kalyanpuri Circle, Delhi Police, wrote a letter to NHAI for installation of speed limit signboards with the maximum speed of 60 kmph in September and sent a reminder after a few days, according to an RTI reply by NHAI.
