Summary:
Not repaired for past several years; move aimed at monitoring traffic flowSatinder Pal SinghZirakpur, December 8Driving on the Zirakpur flyover can be a delight but speeding is a major worry for commuters, especially when security cameras installed here have been lying defunct. The speed limit (60 km per hour) was fixed for vehicles at both approaches on the flyover. However, hardly any driver adheres to the speed limit in spite of boards on the flyover prescribing speed limits for various vehicles installed by the authorities concerned. With no system to check speeding on the Zirakpur flyover, several vehicles have been found driving in excess of 100 km. Traffic officials of Zirakpur said the contract of the company, which was maintaining the cameras, had expired..
