PWD to invite public feedback to provide smooth travel, to put signageI
After complaints of traffic snarls at the descend of the the recently inaugurated 2.85 km long New Rao Tula Ram (RTR) flyover near Subrota Park due to a confusing U-turn, Public Works Department (PWD) has decided to conduct a survey of the flyover to address the problem. The department has decided to install signage at the U- turn for a smooth travel on the stretch.
PWD will deploy its staff to monitor the traffic flow on the flyover. The staff will seek commuters’ suggestions to address the problem. The PWD has also invited public suggestion for the improvement of this section to provide a smooth travel.
“It has been witnessed that the traffic congestion and snarls has been reduced and the journey to Gurugram and Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) has become easier after the opening of the New RTR flyover. But, traffic congestion has been witnessed at the U-turn as the people are getting confused after reaching the exit point, as where to turn due to absence of signage,” said a PWD official.
The official said work has started on the stretch. About eight road signs will be installed displaying information about the way to Gurugram and IGIA at 300 m from the exit and U-turn.
“The issue will be solved as the commuters will get an idea where to turn and go, once the road signage is installed,” said the PWD official.
It is to be noted that the New RTR flyover that connects Munirka to Central Base Post office was thrown open to the public on July 16.
