Noida News: Starting today, the speed limits for light and heavy vehicles on the Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressways have been lowered. This decision aims to enhance road safety during the winter months, particularly in response to increased risks associated with fog and slippery conditions.
The change comes as a precaution against accidents that tend to rise during foggy winter mornings. Reduced visibility and cold weather can make driving hazardous, necessitating slower speeds.
