Upside-down speed signs confuse drivers in Mohali

timesofindia.indiatimes.com — March 15, 2025 at 08:01 PM UTC

The Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) has mistakenly installed speed limit signs upside down on Airport Road, showing '05' instead of the intended 50 km/h. This has caused confusion for drivers. Deputy Mayor Kuljit Singh Bedi opposes the 50 km/h speed limit, arguing it leads to traffic congestion and is lower than limits on similar roads. He has requested an increase to 65 km/h and criticized the use of speed cameras. Residents are supporting the call for a higher speed limit, adding pressure on the administration to address both the signage error and the speed limit controversy.
