In a bid to improve road safety and reduce congestion on the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway, the traffic police have introduced a new lane driving rule. This rule prohibits commercial vehicles from operating on the first two right lanes of the expressway.
This new regulation aims to streamline traffic flow and ensure designated lanes are adhered to by all drivers, ultimately minimizing potential accidents and delays.
Here’s what you need to know about the new rule:
– Effective date: The rule is already in effect and is being enforced across both sides of the expressway, starting from the Kherki Daula toll to the Sirhaul border.
– Vehicles affected: The rule applies to all commercial vehicles, including trucks, buses, and tempos.
– Exemptions: Emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire trucks are exempt from the rule.
– Fines: Violators of the new lane driving rule will be subjected to fines.
– First offense: ₹500
– Second offense: ₹1,500
RTO have urged transporters to inform their drivers about the new rule and ensure compliance. Regular checks will be conducted by traffic authorities to deter violations.
Benefits of the new rule by Delhi RTO:
– Improved traffic flow and reduced congestion.
– Enhanced safety for all drivers, especially car and motorcycle riders.
