Driving on the wide, signal-free Yamuna Expressway can be a delight. But over-speeding presents a major hazard for the people travelling on the 165-km stretch – especially when the system installed to check the menace does not work properly.
The expressway that connects Greater Noida and Agra was thrown open to the public on August 9.
Greater Noida police officials say they are unable to prosecute speed offenders because the communication system and cameras installed for the purpose fail frequently.

One is legally allowed to press the accelerator up to the speed of 100 km/hour on the expressway, however, many vehicles have been found driving in excess of 125 km/hr, they said.
Giving an instance, a police official posted at a check post on the expressway said they noticed a car speeding at over 120 km/hr on Tuesday.
