To improve road safety and tackle traffic congestion, Noida Traffic Police is set to enforce lane discipline rules at three key stretches in the city. According to reports, the high-traffic zones prone to jams include the Charkha roundabout near Amity University, the Bird feeding point near Dalit Prerna Sthal, and the stretch from the Gardens Galleria Mall to Film city.
The drivers will be charged a fine of Rs 1500 if caught violating lane discipline rules on these routes. The decision comes in response to the growing abrupt lane changes during peak hours which often lead to stand stiff and slowdowns.
DCP (traffic) Lakhan Singh Yadav said that the three major stretches witness high-traffic snarls all day long and are particularly prone to jams during rush hours. TOI quoted him as saying, “Noida Authority will develop lane-changing zones nearly 500 meters ahead of these points where commuters can change lanes. Cameras will also be installed to monitor violations and issue challans.”
According to officials, upgrades are underway for the ITMS cameras installed on the expressway. To minimize disruptions, Noida authorities are planning lane-changing zones, 500 meters ahead of these points. Heavy traffic is often seen at the Charkha roundabout coming from residential sectors 125, 126, and 128 and those traveling to Kalindi Kunj, Sarita Vihar, and Jamia Nagar.
Similarly, the bird feeding point manages traffic flow heaving towards the Chilla Border, Film City flyover, and other popular destinations. Drivers failing to switch lanes in an orderly manner will be fined Rs 1500. The exact date and timing for enforcing lane discipline have not yet been announced.
