Why YEIDA Enforces Reduced Speed Limits in Winter
The 165-kilometer Yamuna Expressway traversing the flat agricultural plains of Gautam Buddha Nagar, Aligarh, Mathura, and Agra experiences severe winter radiation fog between mid-December and mid-February. Visibility along the open corridor frequently plummets below 10 to 15 meters during late night and early morning hours.
To eliminate catastrophic multi-vehicle pile-ups caused by high-speed differential traffic, the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) and Uttar Pradesh Traffic Police mandate an annual seasonal speed reduction across the entire corridor.
Speed Limit Matrix & Fine Schedule (Normal vs. Winter Fog)

Automated ANPR Radar Enforcement & Fog Safety Measures
Speed enforcement on the Yamuna Expressway is fully automated through 30+ high-definition Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera gantries and average speed calculation loops placed between Jewar, Mathura, and Khandauli toll gates.
If a vehicle traverses the distance between two toll plazas faster than the mandatory time calculated at 75 km/h, an automated overspeeding e-challan is generated immediately at the exit toll barrier, preventing drivers from simply slowing down in front of visible cameras.
