Hyderabad: The Hyderabad police decided to implement one-way traffic system around KBR Park from August 18 in view of the ongoing construction of flyovers and underpasses under the H-CITI Project around it.
Due to the ongoing construction activity, the existing carriageway is being utilised for traffic movement with reduced available road space. With traffic volumes continuing to remain high, movement in both directions on the available carriageway is likely to result in significant congestion, delays and conflict points.
In order to ease congestion, improve traffic flow and ensure safer movement for commuters, Hyderabad traffic police has decided to implement the one-way system around KBR Park, said Hyderabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar here on Tuesday.
Before taking up the arrangement on a regular basis, Hyderabad traffic police conducted two pilot trials to assess the feasibility and operational requirements of the proposed system.
The traffic flow, junction performance, lane discipline, congestion points and commuter movement were monitored during both trials. Based on the observations and lessons from these trials, necessary modifications have been incorporated and the one-way traffic arrangement is now being implemented from August 18.
