RAJIV GOYAL NOIDA
Traffic jams is an issue in every city specially after rains due to various reasons. Noida being city full of innovative & IT people; some solution in the form of mobile app or mass informative system may be provided by a startup wherein not only location of traffic jam can be pointed but also suggested routes may be provided.
Similarly, if rules permit in U.P., roping of volunteers for traffic management on crossing, with powers to provide support for challans for traffic violators through authorised officer of police department; may be explored too. More than 5000 such volunteers work in Kolkatta @ Rs 175 per day for duty of 4-6 hrs and assist traffic police in managing traffic. I have felt it’s working fine there.
As many roads are under construction specially Viswabharti to sector 61; it divides entire city into two parts. On many main roads entries into sectors are restricted by closing doors leading to undesired choking on almost every crossing as people have to take lengthy routes. A simulation may be done with the help of SPA or IIT delhi in this matter. Probably opening of all sector gates during peak hours can only remove traffic jams. Whatever be the flyovers or elevated roads, they can bring people to sector but if there is limited mobility to enter into sector; choking of traffic is bound to happen.
