The City Traffic Police have prepared a proposal ‘Belagavi Traffic Improvement Project’ (BelTRAC) with the objective of improving the deteriorating traffic conditions in the city.
Police Commissioner Ravi said in a release here on Saturday that the city was interspersed on either side of the National Highway 4 connecting Pune and Bengaluru and the NH4A connecting Belagavi-Panjim; the two major roads passing through the city.
This factor, coupled with rapid horizontal expansion, has led to manifold increase in intra-city vehicular traffic in the past few years. Under BelTRAC, it has been planned to adopt the latest traffic hardware and software technologies to improve traffic conditions.
