Bundelkhand Expressway: Speed Limits Cut Amid Fog to Boost Safety, New Rules Until Feb 15

• Uttar Pradesh Expressway Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) has imposed new speed limits on Bundelkhand Expressway due to dense winter fog and rising accidents.
• Maximum speeds are now 60 km/h for heavy vehicles and two-wheelers, and 80 km/h for four-wheelers.
• The new rules aim to enhance passenger safety by providing drivers more reaction time in low visibility conditions.
• These restrictions are effective until February 15, covering a critical 80 km stretch through Chitrakoot and Banda districts.
• High-tech SVD (Speed Violation Detection) cameras will be installed near toll plazas to automatically fine vehicles exceeding the prescribed limits.
