Just drove on the expressway. Don't think that the pending work will be complete in 2 months. Will be happy to be proven wrong. The beginning of the expressway from Mumbai has to much undulation and feels very jumpy. Guess that's the reason that the speed limit of 100 KMPH has been imposed instead of 120 KMPH which is the case for most the expressway. Practically, there aren't any food plaza on the expressway. We just stopped once each way for bio break at fuel pumps, which were just okay-ish.

While we were careful about the speed guns, not sure how they have been placed. We saw 2 interceptor Ertigas with speed guns, which hardly covers any ground and I may have to shell out some money (hoping not a lot)!

Access control is okay, but had monkeys and dogs roaming around and crossing the road which is a big issue!

That's a very very common occurrence on the Mumbai Pune Expressway with numerous vehicles hoarding the right lane. Usually I just go past them because I don't want to get into the Driver Education Program and teach people where to drive and get into road rage , but if the middle lane is also slow then simply climbing up right behind the vehicle and flashing the headlights a few times from my Safari Storme help the lane clear up.
My observation is that the headlights of SUVs are in line with the ORVMs of smaller cars, so flashing lights has a direct effect on their eyes and they would immediately get out of the way.
