Used the Amritsar-Jamnagar NH754: 6 quick points of interest

Not sure if speed cams are working. I found only 20% of people observing speed limit.

Bhpian abhi_tjet recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

I used the expressway for my Punjab trip and enjoyed it thoroughly.

For my onward journey, entered the Eway from Deoghar(Jodhpur) cut and left from Panditanwali(some 25 kms before Hanumangarh) exit.

I used Deshnok (Bikaner) exit/entry since Linea was almost dry. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise since it enabled me to pay a visit to Karni Mata temple which is at stone’s throw from exit. Petrol pump too was just around the exit.

It actually happened that all the petrol pumps (at least 3) prior to Eway entry were closed at around 6:30 AM. The 1 petrol pump available was still around 40 kms from Deshnok cut which I was unsure of. Though the car has safe range left of exactly around 50 kms, I erred on the side of caution.

As per initial Eway plan there is no dedicated Hanumangarh exit. However, looks like locals have raised objection and there might be an exit alignment soon.

For return, did some Gmaps exploration and found that there is a Chautala entry/exit which can be used to enter or exit Eway.

I have added the location in Gmaps. Hopefully, it will be approved soon so it’s visible to other drivers as well.

Also, thought to explore some internal Rajasthan route and accordingly took the Sangna exit to reach Ahmedabad via Palanpur .

Some points
1. Not sure if speed cams are working. I found only 20% of people observing speed limit.

2. Traffic is still less. Trucks occupy first lane here as well.

3. By taking support from railing people have opened small makeshift shops to serve tea and some breakfast. In foggy conditions, or in general – if low visibility, avoid last lane.

4. On the topic of tea, there are no restaurants operational barring one near Bikaner at Norangdesar. I haven’t personally used there services though.

5. Similarly, only 1 place of operational fuel bunk which belong to Jio-BP at same location. However, it’s present at both side and there is an underpass provided to choose service from any one.

6. One has to compulsorily exit Eway at Sangna, pay toll and enter again to continue till Bagoda.

Took some pictures and a video. Sharing some of them.

Stopped for a tea break at rest area approach/exit road since there was no rest area apart from the signage

The only rest area for the entire stretch between Sangna and Chautala which has a operational bunk, washrooms and restaurant

Mine was the only LMV. Find the Tjet

Hope this helps some fellow travellers.
