Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has decided to reduce the speed limit on the Yamuna Expressway to 75 kmph starting next week, according to a report published in HTAuto. The new speed limit will come into force from December 15. The speed limit will apply to all vehicles, which is about 25 kmph less than the usual speed limit on the expressway.
The usually allowed speed limit on the Yamuna Expressway is 100 kmph. The expected heavy fog during the upcoming weeks of the winter season has led to the authority deciding to reduce the speed limit to avoid accidents. Earlier, the 165-km long expressway had witnessed accidents and pile-ups.
