UPEIDA Implements Winter Safety Measures on Five Uttar Pradesh Expressways
The Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) has initiated winter safety measures on five major expressways—Agra-Lucknow, Purvanchal, Bundelkhand, Gorakhpur Link, and Ganga Expressways—to reduce accidents caused by fog and low visibility. Preparations, including deploying fog patrol teams, strengthening emergency services, and enforcing reduced speed limits from November 1 to February 15, are to be completed by October 31. Speed limits will be lowered during fog, with penalties for violations, and additional safety features like reflective signage and variable message signs will be installed.
