Mumbai-Pune Expressway Among World’s Fastest Roads
Wired features the world’s fastest roads in its latest edition of the magazine, and the Mumbai-Pune Expressway is one of the five fastest roads.
Writes Wired, “These are well-engineered roads with sporadic law enforcement and a high straightness index. They’re in places where fairly consistent temperatures prevent car-tossing pavement buckles and there’s no danger of road salt corroding your $200K engine-with-wheels. In these pace havens, speed limits are just a running start.”
Wired’s list:
- I-75 (Alligator Alley), Florida, US — Distance: 82.9 miles
- A81, Gottmadingen to Weinsberg, Germany — Distance: 121 miles
- Mumbai-Pune Expressway, India — Distance: 55 miles
- Goudies Road, Reporoa, New Zealand — Distance: 9.1 miles
- Attiki Odos, Greece — Distance: 35.6 miles
While stories of accidents due to speeding on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway are fairly common, I didn’t realize drivers were doing 200kmph on the expressway.
