Nashik : Two-wheeler riders continue to use the Mumbai-Agra highway’s elevated corridor despite a ban on several stretches, exposing themselves to fatal crashes as police struggle to enforce the restriction. The danger is acute on sections with only two narrow lanes in each direction. When trucks and other heavy vehicles move side by side, there is really no space left for motorcycles. Yet two-wheeler riders routinely use the flyover. Police issue challans during patrols, but violations continue unchecked. It offers no shoulder or escape space for motorists. the accident once again highlighted the risks posed by high-speed traffic on the corridor Although two-wheelers are permitted on that particular stretch. Adgaon police registered a case in the matter. Warning boards prohibiting two-wheelers have been installed at entry points. Many have demanded permanent police deployment at flyover access points to physically prevent two-wheelers from entering restricted stretches.
