The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has implemented a ban on the entry of two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and other slow-moving vehicles on three specific stretches of high-speed corridors in Delhi. These highways are NH-344M, NH-248BB, and the Delhi-Gurugram section of NH-48.

NH-344M begins at its junction with NH-44 near Bankoli village and passes through Narela, Mundka, Najafgarh, Dwarka, terminating at its junction with NH-248BB near Bhartal chowk in Delhi. NH-248BB starts at its junction with NH No. 48 near Shiv murti, connecting Bharthal Chowk, Delhi-Haryana border, and ends near Kherki Daula on NH 48 in Haryana. The Delhi-Gurugram section of NH-48 extends from the RTR flyover to the Kherki Daula user fee plaza.

The NHAI issued a notification on January 11, 20124, stating that the movement of high-speed vehicles may pose risks to the safety of slower-moving vehicles such as two-wheelers, three-wheelers, non-motorized vehicles, and agricultural tractors (with or without trailers) due to speed differentials and vulnerability. As a result, the NHAI has prohibited the use of these highways by three-wheelers (including e-Carts and e-Rickshaws), non-motorized vehicles, agricultural tractors (with or without trailers), multi-axle hydraulic trailer vehicles, and quadri-cycles, in accordance with Section 35 of "The Control of National Highways (Land and Traffic) Act, 2002."


The notification also highlights that these highways have been developed as high-speed corridors, and maximum speed limits for motor vehicles of various types have been established. Additionally, there are service roads, alternative routes, and other roads available to the public to access these areas or reach various destinations prior to the development of these highways.
