Frequently Asked Questions

Can motorcycles use the Western Peripheral Expressway?

No, two-wheelers (motorcycles and scooters) are not permitted on the Western Peripheral Expressway for safety reasons. Use alternate routes like state highways or surface roads.

How does the closed tolling system work?

You receive an entry ticket/tag at your entry point and pay only for the distance traveled when exiting. For example, traveling 20 km costs ₹27 for cars, not the full 135.6 km toll.

What are the speed limits and why are they different?

Cars: 120 km/h (Manesar-Palwal section), 80 km/h (Kundli-Manesar section). Trucks: 100 km/h and 60 km/h respectively. The northern section has reduced limits due to increased accidents.

How does this connect to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway?

The expressways intersect at Khalilpur interchange in Nuh district. Traffic from both DND-Faridabad and Sohna-Gurgaon routes merge here to continue on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway toward western India.

Is it worth using for local Haryana travel?

Yes, especially for connections between Sonipat, Bahadurgarh, Manesar, and Palwal. Local residents within 20 km can get monthly passes for ₹350, making it very cost-effective for regular commuting.
