It’s daily routine of heavy traffic jam. More we are constructing flyovers and underpasses, situation is turning bad to worse.
Studies may be conducted by IITs and IIMs in this regard to find out long term solution for say 2031. These studies and planning may take 2 yrs with full projections and another 3 yrs to implement plans. And thereafter rolling plans can be made year after years.
In my understanding; and it’s well established study, that whenever we try to solve peculiar problem in linear way, it can not be resolved. Hence only flyover and underpass or widening of road is not solution to this problem. We can see this for the road connecting jhundpura to Indian oil, even after making in single way, there are traffic jams on this road as people have started using road space for parking.
The biggest issue is parking, even at streets in society. There must be parking police of NA, with adequate powers to charge penalties, specially for "Dabang" & people of high connections as other will automatically fall in line, as it happens in Singapore or in Dubai. No car or vehicle to be parked on public space. Zero Tolerance in this regard
Second is planning for 6-7 routes of monorail within noida connecting various sectors of industry, markets & sectors with Metro stations.
Third is investment in broadband using OFC and allowing mixed land use within all sectors, to reduce need to movement
Fourth one which is very important to create ring roads in and around noida with 5-6 more connectivity to Delhi, Indirapuram, Greater Noida and Faridabad
Noida is far behind of growth which the old cities of London, Paris or Singapore & Dubai has witnessed, but traffic is much bigger problem here. Bangkok despite having huge traffic pressure has good speed due to elevated road.and yes these cities have good space on road for pedestrians which we have almost nil.
There is one more problem developing in noida , noise pollution. Many young boys either with bullet motorcycle or with changed silencer create so much of noise as a fun to them but to troubles to others which is need to be controlled fast. We must not forget, mind is affected due to such things and we see lots of irritation and thus unbalanced behaviours sometimes culminating into crimes in society
