While, the average speed at rush hour in Delhi's traffic is 20-30 Kilometer/Hour, vehicles can go upto 70 Kilometer/Hour on this bridge even during the rush hour. But, while each car owner pays 20 Rupees and a two-wheeler owner pays 10, they stand at a similar Kilometre long jam on the Delhi side as the normal traffic.
