Lucknow, December 15 (TNA) With the inclement weather and foggy conditions endangering vehicular movement, the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority has stepped in to reduce the probability of road accidents.

And so from today to February 15 next year, the speed limit on the Yamuna Expressway has been reduced to 75 kmph from the present 100 kmph.
