Traffic police take steps to ensure free left at junctions

Traffic police have started placing bollards and traffic cones to ensure compliance of the free-left rule at major intersections, after ground-level surveys found that motorists heading in other directions occupied the left lanes, blocking free access to those seeking to take a left turn, police said. Gurugram Traffic Police to ease congestion and enhance traffic efficiency initiated a measure to streamline traffic flow by designating left lanes as free for vehicles at Iffco Chowk metro station traffic light near Sector-29 in Gurugram. Virender Vij, deputy commissioner of police, said: “We conducted survey of major spots across the city and noticed that left lanes were occupied by commuters going straight or right. We have placed cones, set up barricades, and placed bollards at key locations across the city.” Vij said the left lanes will remain free on major routes: Iffco Metro station signal to Millennium City Center and vice versa, and Huda City Center to Leisure Valley Park, at the Sector 31 junction, both sides of Rajiv Chowk underpass, T-points at Ghata, and sectors 21 and 22, from the direction of Rezangla Chowk, and at multiple points along the Sector 37 road, including Basai Chowk T-point, Z Chowk, and South City -2 Chowk.
