The Atal Setu, India's longest sea bridge, has seen nearly 80,000 vehicles pass through since its opening. However, motorists stopping for selfies, venturing into restricted areas, and flouting rules have raised concerns among netizens. Mumbai police issued a warning against illegal stopping and photography on the bridge. On the first day, 24,083 vehicles crossed, and the number increased to 55,367 on the second day.
However, some netizens also said such acts may be the result of curiosity due to the newness of the sea bridge as well as the sights around, like oil refineries and port operations which are otherwise inaccessible to most people, and normal traffic behaviour would return when the novelty wears off. In an appeal on X, the MMRDA said, "Experience the joy of driving on India's longest sea bridge having speed limit of 100 kmph. For your safety, we advise against stopping on the bridge for selfies. Drive responsibly and enjoy the journey."
