NOIDA:

An advisory in this regard was issued by Noida traffic police on Wednesday.

The curbs were slightly delayed this year as fog conditions so far in December have been minimal, and also owing to recent changes in the traffic department, said traffic police.

The Yamuna authority, however, had implemented speed restrictions on Yamuna Expressway from December 15, where the speed limit has been reduced 75km/hour for light vehicles from 100km/hour and 60km/hour for heavy vehicles from 80km/hour.

Traffic police said reducing the speed limit is an annual exercise and the reduced limits will remain in effect till February 15, 2025, to reduce fog-related accidents.

Lakhan Singh Yadav, deputy commissioner of police (traffic), said foggy conditions significantly reduce visibility, increasing the risk of accidents.
