Impact on Drivers and Transporters

For everyday drivers, the change means adjusting driving habits, particularly on long motorway journeys where many motorists previously traveled above 110 km/h.

Commercial transport operators, including buses, cargo trucks, and logistics vehicles, will also need to strictly follow the updated limits to avoid penalties.

Authorities say that motorway police enforcement teams will actively monitor compliance using speed cameras and patrol units. Drivers exceeding the limit could face traffic fines or challans.

• Maintain steady speeds instead of sudden acceleration
