Delhi-Meerut Expressway to Pilot Variable Speed Limits from August 15
Starting August 15, the Delhi-Meerut Expressway will pilot variable speed limits based on time of day to address congestion and improve safety. The project covers the Akshardham to Sarai Kale Khan stretch, with speed limits ranging from 40 to 65 kmph for cars and heavy vehicles depending on the hour. Sensors installed by the Central Road Research Institute will monitor traffic, and data will be assessed every three months. This is the first such initiative in India, managed by the National Highways Authority of India.
