The death of a woman jogger at Worli Sea Face highlights the dangers of speeding. Rattled by the increasing number of accidents along expressways, especially the latest one on the Mumbai-Nagpur Samruddhi Expressway that killed six people, the Road Safety Network (RSN) has written to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, demanding a 100-kmph speed limit on highways. The RSN is a coalition of organisations that has an evidence-based approach.

The ministry began the process of raising speed limits on expressways from 100 kmph to 120 kmph around 2018. Road safety experts have sought a rollback. Currently, highways have a speed limit of 100 kmph, while on expressways the speed limit is 120 kmph. However, state police are authorised to decide on speed limits for their areas due to which, different national highways have different speed limits.
