In a bid to resolve traffic issues and curb illegal parking on Noida’s roads, Chairman of the Noida authority Pravin Kumar on Monday directed officials to conduct live videography/photography in the city. The authority will target lease plot rent holders by this week as they are occupying road space by illegal parking.
The official will first serve notice to the plot holders and then will issue penalty. But after repeated violation, the lease would be cancelled.
The Chairman has also directed to repair and reinstalled 126 CCTV cameras to overview the irregular parking issues. The cameras would be start installing after 15 days at high-mast light polls in the industrial and commercial sectors as the traffic police submit its survey plan.
These cameras were installed during 2010 Commonwealth Games but now they are not functioning. The Chairman has also directed to resolve other traffic issues.
Noida traffic police on Monday advised authority officials that illegal parking before the plots are causing traffic snarls and jams in the city. Superintendent of Police, Noida, Traffic, Prabal Pratap Singh, said, “We conduct drive but the lease renters again parked their vehicles on road. Even, some light and heavy vehicles were also parked for long times in the industrial and commercial sectors that occupied a major part of the arteries and the commuters face traffic jams. The lease holders show their property rights even the authority has approved the map with parking plans.”
“We have asked the traffic police to provide details of those arteries and locations in the city where the problems are worse. The engineers have been told to conduct live-video photography drive to capture illegal parking by this week. The drive is going to start from intuitional Sector 125 and 128. The lease plot renters are only allowed to park vehicle inside their premises with map plan. We will serve notices with evidence to lease holders to stop illegal parking. If they continue the same next week, authority will run enforcement drive and will issue penalty. Also, lease would be canceled after repeated violation,” said a senior authority official.
YEIDA Chairman Pravin Kumar has also directed to install lED and visual signs on stretches and road signs along the one way traffic. Authority is also mulling to monitor traffic signals by GPRS system and software based operation as it goes faulty in rain and causes heavy traffic jams.
