Workshop On Finding Traffic Solutions For Gurgaon
October 22, 2012
Workshop Agenda
- Gurgaon’s traffic problem is cited as one of the most serious issues facing the city. The quality of traffic infrastructure in the city has gone from bad to worse. The volume of inbound and outbound traffic has grown manifold leading to perpetual jams on key intersections.
- Several roads intersections are poorly planned and structured. They need widening to improve the flow of traffic.
- Other roads need structures like foot-overbridges, underpasses and flyovers to not only decongest traffic but also improve safety for pedestrians.
- Sectoral roads have potholes and need maintenance. Poor quality of roads is one of the main reasons for low speeds and riding quality.
- Besides some key roads in Gurgaon need service lanes to improve accessibility and avoid traffic criss-crossing.
- The Delhi-Gurgaon expressway has become a sore point and a major bottleneck despite being developed into a sixlane
- world-class facility. Simple and innovative traffic management solutions can help remove the bottlenecks on this strategic road.
- Public transport is far from the desirable levels. Buffer connections with metro stations and inter-city transportation need to be improved.
- More parking spaces including multi-level parking involving the private sector can also help decongest roads and widen their capacity.
- Private companies be it tolling, traffic management solution providers, road maintenance companies need to involved.
