DCP Yamuna Prasad said “During winter, fog reduces visibility on roads, making driving difficult. Due to freezing temperatures, roads also become slippery, increasing the chances of an accident. To avoid any untoward incident, we are planning to reduce the speed limit on the Noida Expressway and Yamuna Expressway soon.”
