Why no apply same rule to the normal main roads and strictly adhere to the road traffic act?
How many lives lost in a day in those roads now?

Yeah. I have seen some crazy drivers in last few days. They don't know the distances need to keep in between cars.
I think road looks really good and they have to implement 110 zones and 90 zones for the safety of the drivers.
they must reduce the speed to 90 close to all the bridges and allow drivers to drive max. of 110kmph.
It is also must to punish the drivers who do not drive on left lane unless overtaking a vehicle.

IF one can refrain from failing to avoid an accident, there is NO accident in the fisrt place....

Speeding and disobeying traffic laws need to be taken to task...IF damage is done to the Highway, the vehicles should be released ONLY after payment of damages caused.....

The Traffic Police should start enforcing discipline in Colombo City. If motorists are prosecuted for breaches of lane discipline and non-use of traffic signals, there would be no problem on the Expressway! How frequently do we see vehicles moving from one lane to another without any signals! Drivers who form extra lanes, through sheer selfishness should be penalised for obstructing traffic!

Good job. If only the police were as vigilant on the other roads as well there will be fewer accidents. Keep this up and make the E01 safer. It was a pleasure driving on it and so much more less stressful than using the Galle Rd. to go to Galle and back.

A tip to avoid accidents : when you see a dog ahead just stop and wait till it goes away !. I couldn't do that so ended up in damaging the buffer.

Sri Lanka should start from basics. Get the motorist to use the normal roads in a civilized manner. Then the expressway? We all start from basic and go on ....

MW: It was good you didnt stop. Just you lost your bumper a bit. If you have stopped, someone might smashed from behind.
