New Delhi: Two and three wheeler riders illegally entering the access-controlled Delhi-Gurgaon and the newly opened Dwarka Expressway made up for nearly 63% of traffic rule violations on these high-speed corridors, as per sample data on violations recorded by NHAI's Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS).
The sample data on the number of vehicles and violations captured in cameras on these two key roads between Delhi and Gurgaon showed that between just three days — June 21 and June 23 — a little over 1.7 lakh violations were recorded and more than 1 lakh of these were related to "banned vehicles" — illegal plying of two and three wheelers and other slow moving vehicles. Not wearing seatbelts accounted for a little over one-fifth of the violations and the share of speeding violations was less than 10%.
The menace of two-wheelers plying on high-speed corridors, even on the Delhi-Meerut expressway, pose a huge risk.

Sources said speed violation is more on the Dwarka Expressway and there have been several instances when cameras have caught vehicles driving above 130-140 kmph. They added that there is also footage of vehicles speeding at 230 kmph.
"We are sharing the details of violations with the National Informatics Centre (NIC), which deals with e-challan.
We have also written to the Gurgaon Police to use the details of violations for generating e-challans," said a National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) official.
Officials said the highways authority recently deployed the most-advanced ATMS on the of 56.5-km network, covering the entire stretch of the Dwarka Expressway and the Delhi—Gurgaon section of NH-48 from Shiv Murti to Kherki Daula.
The focus of the 24X7 surveillance of the two stretches is not just to capture violations but also to take quick action in case of a crash or an= incident.
A similar system will be in place for UER-II as well, they added.
To capture violations and monitor traffic, the authority has put high-resolution pan-tilt-zoom cameras at every km, which provides tamper-proof footage for real-time monitoring and post-incident investigations. So far, 100 cameras have been installed on the two stretches, ensuring 100% coverage.
"In addition, video incident detection and enforcement system (VIDES) has been deployed every 10 km, primarily at high-risk zones and accident-prone areas for intelligent enforcement through AI-powered surveillance and analytics," an official said.
The ATMS module, which has also been deployed in some other key stretches such as the Mysuru-Bangalore Expressway, is capable of detecting 14 types of incidents, including over speeding, wrong-lane driving, triple riding, seat-belt violations, and helmet violations with high-level of accuracy.
