The transport department of Gautam Budh Nagar has listed 21,527 drivers violating the speed norms thrice or more between 1st of April to 4th of July on the Yamuna Expressway.
To bring down the road accidents and violations, the district administration and the transport department had joined to take necessary actions and also recommended the respective authorities to suspend their license.
Every vehicle's speed will be recorded by a software installed at the Jewar Toll Plaza. 100 kmph is the speed limit for the small & medium vehicles. 60 kmph for heavy vehicles.

Speaking on this, Mr. BN Singh, District Magistrate, Gautam Budh Nagar says, “For the first two offences, we fine the vehicle owner. However, for a third violation, we initiate cancellation of driving licences under the Motor Vehicles Act. To deal with vehicles from outside UP, we will take the help of the ARTO department and the police of the state concerned to track the owner of the offending vehicle and fine them.
In May, a total of 1,72,000 violations were recorded whereas in June, a total of 1,35,590 violations were recorded, which shows a dip of 23% in one month.
