Yamuna Expressway Cracks Down: Challans at Toll, New Speed Limits After Deadly Accidents

• New system: Overspeeding vehicles will receive challans directly at Yamuna Expressway toll plazas.
• ANPR cameras capable of tracking speeds up to 250 km/h will be installed for immediate online challan generation.
• Speed limits reduced due to fog: Small vehicles 60 km/h, Buses 50 km/h, Trucks 40 km/h.
• Measures follow a horrific accident (19 dead, 100+ injured); Mathura administration on high alert.
• Investigation committee found insufficient patrolling, CCTV, and lax challan process, urging immediate improvements.

Why It Matters: Yamuna Expressway implements strict new rules and reduced speed limits to curb accidents and overspeeding.
