Summary:
While reckless driving and speeding are not new on Noida roads, what’s making elevated roads and flyovers even more accident-prone are the wide signal-free stretches with hardly any police presence. “I was getting on to the elevated road from the NTPC cut when the biker zoomed past and broke my side-view mirror. Commuters who want to go towards Sector 18 from Sector 26 or 33 or vice versa will have to take the road underneath the elevated road. Many are not even aware that there are cameras installed to fine violators. Noidawallahs love to drive recklessly and the elevated road gives them a reason to,” says Tulika Jha, a resident of Sector 26 who works in Delhi..
