Delhi-Meerut Expressway to Pilot Variable Speed Limits Based on Traffic Conditions
A pilot project on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway will test variable speed limits on an 8.7 km stretch from Sarai Kale Khan to the Uttar Pradesh border, starting around August 15. The system, led by IIT Roorkee and CSIR-CRRI experts, will use electronic signboards and sensors to adjust speed limits based on traffic density and conditions. Speed limits will vary by time: 65 kmph for cars and 50 kmph for heavy vehicles overnight, reduced during daytime to ease congestion near Akshardham, a high-traffic zone.
