The 13-km stretch of the Eastern Freeway which is scheduled to open next week may have tarmac-quality surface, but there is not a single CCTV camera installed to check speeding cars or highway crimes. MMRDA officials, however, say such security measures are not needed yet
While the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is all set to open the signal-free ambitious Eastern Freeway project connecting Orange Gate in South Mumbai with Chembur, there are no CCTV cameras and other surveillance systems on this entire stretch to keep a tab on the motorists using it.
Although the traffic police has declared maximum speed as 60km/ hr, and 40- 50 kms/ hr on sharp turns, transport experts feel that motorists will take advantage of the lack of surveillance and cross speed limits, which could lead to accidents.
