Delhi-Meerut Expressway: Even though two-wheelers are strictly prohibited on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway (DME), motorcycles and scooters nonetheless rush along the high-speed lane, endangering public safety. Six two-wheeler riders have been killed in motorway incidents in the last year alone.
Despite the traffic police’s claims that they had people at every access point, two-wheelers were once again seen traveling freely on the DME on Sunday night and Monday without any inspections. Neither the NHAI nor the traffic police seemed to be enforcing any restrictions on their arrival.
On-ground surveillance is still lacking, particularly at night, despite the fact that the number of traffic police officers has almost quadrupled since the commissionerate was established. As a consequence, cyclists may quickly and easily reach the freeway and travel great distances.
Recent Serious Two-Wheeler Accidents on the DME
-On July 15, 2025, a motorcycle accident in Noida Sector-62 claimed the lives of three Kanwariyas.
– Ranjan Singh, a motorcyclist, was killed on July 26, 2025, when he was struck by a truck.
-December 1, 2024: A motorcycle and a truck crashed outside the Hawa Hawai restaurant, killing two companions.
-On July 23, 2024, a vehicle struck a mother and son’s scooter on the freeway, killing them.
Even though riding a two-wheeler on the DME carries a Rs 20,000 punishment, which is enforced by automated cameras, it is still impossible to halt cars once they reach the expressway at a fast speed.
Although two-wheelers are prohibited on the DME, it is hard to halt them once they have entered because of their fast speed. Automatic cameras are being used to impose fines, according to DCP Traffic’s Trigun Bisen.
