Redesigning of busy Gurgaon junctions:
The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has announced its plans to redesign 17 busy traffic intersections. They are between sectors 1 and 57. According to the authorities, this move would reduce congestion and curb vehicular pollution.
“These measures are aimed at ensuring smoother traffic flow, reducing wait time at intersections and minimising long queues of vehicles. By reducing stoppage time and improving traffic circulation, the project will also contribute to lowering emissions at these high-traffic points,” Amit Godara, executive engineer, GMDA, told HT.com.
