To ensure smooth vehicular movement in Central Delhi’s Karol Bagh, the Delhi Traffic Police will implement one-way traffic circulation plan on trial basis on Padam Singh Road and Tank Road from Monday, said a senior officer on Sunday.
He said the scheme would be implemented gradually on four other roads of the area — Pyare Lal Road, Hardhyan Singh Road, Gurudwara Road, and Saraswati Marg.
Vehicular movement
The move is aimed at providing seamless and smooth traffic movement and is being used to create a one-way loop system for comfortable movement of all modes of transport, the officer said.
Karol Bagh — a hub of commercial establishments having garments, jewellary, electronic items and car dealers — registers heavy footfall and vehicular movement throughout the day, thereby leading to street parking on all the major roads.
One-way circulation plan of Karol Bagh was approved by the Unified Traffic Transportation Infrastructure (Planning and Engineering) Centre (UTTIPEC) in April, 2010 and the trial run on these roads was also conducted for sometime but could not be continued thereafter, the traffic police said.
In a concerted effort by Delhi Traffic Police along with other civic agencies, one-way circulation plan on the six roads in Karol Bagh is being revived with its implementation initially on Padam Singh Road and Tank road, the statement added.
