Passengers continue to treat Atal Setu, the longest sea bridge in India, as a picnic spot, stopping to take pictures and even venturing into restricted areas. Navi Mumbai Police has received a video of this incident and has forwarded it to the concerned Traffic Branch. Mumbai Police has issued a warning on social media, stating that it is illegal to stop on the bridge and take photos. The bridge, built at a cost of Rs 17,840 crore, aims to provide faster connectivity to Mumbai and Navi Mumbai airports and reduce travel time to Pune, Goa, and South India.
The Atal Setu, India s longest sea bridge, has seen nearly 80,000 vehicles pass through since its opening. However, motorists stopping for selfies, venturing into restricted areas, and flouting rules have raised concerns among netizens. Mumbai police issued a warning against illegal stopping and photography on the bridge. On the first day, 24,083 vehicles crossed, and the number increased to 55,367 on the second day.
Mumbai traffic police has made changes to the speed limits on nine major roads and some flyovers in the city. Starting from December 13, these new speed limits will be in effect. The objective behind this decision is to ensure the safety and convenience of the public. According to the city traffic police, the revised speed limits will be applicable to all types of vehicles.
