Palghar District Magistrate Govind Bodke said, ‘Rambler will be installed on the highway as a short-term measure. The curves will be inspected and measures like reduction of lanes will be discussed during the joint tour.
Officials of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), in a meeting convened during the day, said that the Mumbai-Ahmedabad section was designed for a maximum speed of 80 kmph, but there was no risk of vehicular movement over the prescribed limit.
