In latest news from Doon, in a major initiative to stop or control road accidents, the transport directorate of the State has fixed the speed limit of vehicles plying on the stretch between Dehradun and Karnprayag and also decided to install speed limit boards every half a kilometre along the Char Dham roads.
The Faridabad-based Institute of Road Traffic Education which had been approached by the Transport Directorate submitted its report, suggesting the speed limit of vehicles be fixed from 50 km per hour to 25 km per hour. While in the plains it is generally 50 km per hour it comes down to 25 km per hour along some stretches in the mountainous areas.
