Traffic cops and NHAI to ease highway congestion in Delhi

Senior officials from the Delhi Traffic Police and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) met to explore solutions for alleviating traffic congestion on national highway stretches within the city.

During the meeting, the Delhi Traffic Police requested NHAI to consider widening the road at Kalindi Kunj and relocating the bus stop at Mukarba Chowk to Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar to reduce congestion in these high-traffic areas. Discussions led by Delhi's special commissioner of traffic, Ajay Chaudhary, and NHAI chairman Santosh Kumar Yadav also focused on installing speed cameras on NH-24 at the Kalyanpuri circle and erecting cautionary signboards at the Ghazipur toll plaza.

Chaudhary further suggested deploying traffic marshals and enhancing signage on NH-48 to facilitate smoother traffic flow. Other recommendations included installing rumble strips and iron grilles on NH-44 near Mukarba Chowk, placing signboards at Meethapur Chowk, and adding iron grilles on the Badarpur flyover.

NHAI was also asked to provide details of construction sites affecting traffic flow so alternative strategies could be planned. Additional requests included constructing a subway near the Rangpuri traffic lights on Mahipalpur flyover and building an underground tunnel from Indira Gandhi International Airport's Terminal 3 to NH-48 on the Dwarka road.

"There are several stretches in Delhi impacted by vehicles using the national highways. Effective communication and coordination between the Delhi Traffic Police and NHAI are essential to ensure smooth traffic flow across the city," Chaudhary emphasised. He added that collaboration among various stakeholders, including the Delhi Transport Corporation, the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, and NHAI, is crucial for reducing road accidents and easing congestion in the capital.

According to sources, the NHAI chief responded positively to the suggestions and will provide feedback soon. (ET)
