Driving Speed Gets Fixed On Expressways & All Kinds Of Other Roads
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has fixed the driving speed of vehicles on all kinds of roads, be it a village road or an expressway.
The government has fixed the speed of vehicles depending on their category. However, there are no speed indicators installed on the roads of the municipality of villages, but driving faster than the speed will make you pay challan.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has divided the roads across the country into four different categories: the first expressway, the second four-lane or more-lane road with dividers, the third municipal border roads, and the fourth is other roads, including roads in rural areas.
Overall, there are six categories, in which the first one M1 category, has nine seats, excluding the driver’s seat, which includes all types of cars. The second category includes M1 and M3 category vehicles, which have nine or more seats, excluding drivers.
The third is the N category for goods vehicles, where bikes are placed in the fourth category. The quadricycles are put in the fifth category, and three-wheelers in the sixth category.
