Hyderabad: The Cyberabad traffic police has framed new norms on speed for different lanes of the Outer Ring Road. Keeping in mind the rising number of accidents on the Outer Ring Road (ORR), the Hyderabad City Traffic Police deputed four patrol vans, equipped with speed laser guns and breathalysers to move round the clock on ORR in three shifts.
Five more speed laser guns and 30 breathalysers are being introduced with the support of HMDA to control road accidents. According new rules for ORR the maximum speed on lanes 1 and 2 will be 100 kmph and minimum 80 kmph. On lanes 3 and 4, the maximum will be 80 kmph and minimum 40 kmph. Faster moving vehicles would be on the right side (lanes 1 and 2). Heavy vehicles should move in Lane 3 or Lane 4 only.
Vehicles changing lanes should use indicator lights and take precautions before doing that. No vehicle should stop on any of the lanes and no passenger vehicles shall stop on the ORR to pick up or drop passengers. Pedestrians are strictly not permitted on any stretch of ORR Any vehicle that needs to stop for any emergency should follow set guidelines.
No 2 or 3 wheelers or 7-seater autos, wrong side driving, entry from exit roads and exit from entry roads are strictly ruled out on ORR. The new rules have come into force from May 23.
