The traffic police on Wednesday advised commuters to drive slow on the Yamuna Expressway, saying that the visibility has sharply dropped due to foggy conditions. Police said that traffic personnel have been deployed at different places on the expressway to advise commuters to observe safety.
Ganesh Prasad Saha, deputy commissioner of police (traffic), Gautam Budh Nagar, said that the fog has reduced the visibility on the Yamuna Expressway. “In fog and inclement weather conditions, people should drive slow. They should also use the low beam lights to make themselves visible to others. The reflective tapes on the vehicles also play an important role in safety. We have also deployed traffic police personnel at the toll plazas to make announcement for safe driving,” he said.
Saha said that the traffic police personnel share live updates from different places to facilitate commuting. “The police personnel share short videos from the spot. The videos are tweeted using official twitter handle (@noidatraffic). The video helps the commuters get an idea of the weather conditions and plan accordingly,” he said.
