**Executive Summary**
This notification issued by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on April 8, 2026, prohibits specific classes of slow-moving vehicles from using the elevated section of the Delhi-Saharanpur National Highway (NH-709B), Phase-I. The restriction covers the stretch from Km 5+190 to Km 31+600 to ensure safety on this high-speed, six-lane access-controlled corridor. Affected commuters must utilize existing service roads and alternative routes.
**Key Points / Main Content**
**Highway Scope and Development**
* The Delhi-Saharanpur National Highway, Phase-I, extends from Akshardham (Km 0.000) in Delhi to the EPE Crossing near Khekra (Km 31.600).
* The corridor connects key areas including Laxmi Nagar, Geeta Colony, Biharipur, Ankur Vihar, Tronica City, and Mandaula.
* The route has been developed as a six-lane access-controlled highway designed for high-speed traffic with specific speed limits.
**Vehicle Prohibitions**
* Under Section 35 of "The Control of National Highways (Land and Traffic) Act, 2002," certain vehicles are prohibited from the elevated section (Km 5+190 to Km 31+600).
* Prohibited vehicles include:
* Motorcycles, scooters, and other two-wheelers.
* Three-wheelers, including e-Carts and e-Rickshaws.
* Non-motorized vehicles.
* Agricultural tractors (with or without trailers).
* Multi-axle hydraulic trailer vehicles.
* Quadri-cycles.
**Safety Rationale**
* The movement of slow-moving vehicles alongside high-speed traffic poses significant safety risks due to speed differentials.
* The prohibition is intended to prevent accidents and maintain the integrity of the high-speed corridor.
* Alternative infrastructure, such as service roads and secondary routes, is already available for the prohibited vehicle classes.
**Impact Analysis**
