JDA to remove Narayan Singh Circle footbridge
1 2 Jaipur: To facilitate the construction of Jaipur Metro Line 2, the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) will soon remove the pedestrian footbridge at Narayan Singh Circle and beautify the intersection. The decision came exactly three months after the state govt shifted the bus stand from Narayan Singh Circle to Jawahar Circle in Transport Nagar. "We will start removing the pedestrian footbridge this week. The elevated corridor of Metro Line 2 will pass through the present ramp of this footbridge. Instead of scrapping the structure, we are going to reinstall the footbridge at the India Gate Tiraha on Tonk Road," said a JDA official. Once the engineers remove the footbridge, the civic body will start beautifying the signal. Public toilet, all makeshift stalls and parking spots will be removed from this intersection. Although the traffic police have declared the intersection as no parking zone, a few autos and motorbikes (those run on apps) are still parking at this crossing. "We have asked the department of information technology (DoIT) to install cameras at this crossing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo These are expected to be installed soon," the JDA official added. The two newly announced bus stands in Transport Nagar—towards Agra Road and Delhi Road—are expected to get a major facelift in the coming months. While Jaipur Municipal Corporation (Heritage) will install high-mast lights and a few infrastructures for passengers boarding from the stands meant for private buses, the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (RSRTC) will improve the infrastructure of the govt bus stand at the corner of Agra Road. RSRTC plans to construct a state-of-the-art terminal building at this bus stand.

Experts roped in for busy trafffic crossings
Jaipur: To address growing traffic congestion, the Jaipur Commissionerate's traffic department plans to engage a traffic institution for expert solutions at two major city junctions—the MI Road–Tonk Road Junction near the Yadgar traffic headquarters and the Govt Hostel Crossing near the Commissionerate headquarters. Officials said the rapid increase in vehicular traffic has turned these crossings into daily bottlenecks. The situation is expected to worsen with the upcoming construction of Jaipur Metro Line 2 by the Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation (JMRC). The main line will pass through the Govt Hostel Crossing, while a spur from Chandpole Gate will link Line 1 and Line 2 at the same point. JMRC also has plans for metro connectivity to Ajmeri Gate. DCP (traffic) Shaheen C confirmed that preliminary surveys and measures have been implemented. "We are now seeking expert technical input and will appoint a third-party agency to suggest solutions. Institutions like MNIT and others are under consideration," she said. Meanwhile, the traffic department installed sensor-enabled signals at these two crossings. Such signals are installed at a few other crossings in the city, like the Rambagh Circle. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "The time limits (for green or red) at these signals are not pre-set. These signals determine the volume of traffic on each flank and glow red or green according to the requirement. Recently, we installed these signals at these two crossings. Traffic movements at both crossings improved to some extent following the installations," said a senior traffic official. The traffic department also decided to install signals with illuminated poles at all the traffic signals across the city. This technology enables the lighting on the entire pole to be synchronized with the signal, which helps motorists to have a view of the signal, even if they are stranded behind a bigger vehicle.
