GMDA officials said the second phase of this initiative, with an estimated cost of 6.47 crore, aims to equip 32 additional intersections with advanced traffic control systems designed to reduce congestion and enhance pedestrian safety.

The project is expected to be completed within six months from the date of allotment. The installation of these smart traffic signals is part of a broader initiative that began with the first phase in sectors 1 to 57. In this initial phase, 111 signals are being upgraded with Adaptive Traffic Control Systems (ATCS).

GMDA officials have confirmed that work in this phase is well underway, with several signals already operational and making a noticeable difference in traffic flow. These smart signals are integrated with vehicle detector cameras that monitor traffic density at intersections, enabling the system to automatically adjust the signal timings for smoother traffic movement. This feature also facilitates the creation of green corridors, giving priority to emergency vehicles and ensuring they can navigate through traffic without delay.

Some of the locations where the new smart signals will be installed include Sector 102A/103 dividing road on Kherki Majra side, Sec 110/110A/112/113 Chowk, Bajghera Underpass, Sec 45/52 T-Point Vikas Marg, Sec-101/102/102A/104 Chowk on Dwarka Expressway Side, Sector 93/94/89 T-point, Rampura to Pataudi Road, Sector 86/85/90/89 Dadi Satti Chowk, Sector 81/82/85/86 Jai Singh Chowk, Sector 90/91/92/93 Chowk, among others. GMDA has floated the tender for this work.

GMDA has floated the tender for this project and is inviting bids from qualified contractors to undertake the work. This initiative is expected to significantly enhance traffic efficiency and safety in one of Gurugram’s rapidly developing areas.
