Laxmi Mandir Tiraha: Laxmi Mandir Tiraha: Partial Signal-Free Project in Jaipur | Jaipur News
Jaipur: If everything works according to plan then Laxmi Mandir Tiraha may turn out to be a partial signal free project from a signal-free project soon.
A section of Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) officials are planning to restore the traffic signals at this crossing on Tonk Road.
But, to justify the project, there would be only one right-turn allowed at this crossing under the new plan.Vehicles from Rambagh Circle-side would be allowed to take right turn towards Sahakar Marg.
On the other hand, vehicles – intending to take a right turn towards the Tonk Puliya/Gandhi Nagar Railway Station from Sahakar Marg – would have to take the newly constructed underpass.
“The blueprint of the project states that this project was aimed to maintain a steady flow of traffic flow towards the city airport. If we allow partial signal on this crossing, still the flank towards the airport (from Rambagh Circle to Tonk Puliya) would always remain clear. We would only have to stop Tonk Road traffic on the opposite flank to allow vehicles from Rambagh Circle-side to take a right turn towards Sahakar Marg. In all, this is the best available plan,” said an engineer of JDA.
Since chief minister Ashok Gehlot inaugurated the Signal-free Project on Tonk Road on September 21, JDA and police had changed the traffic flow on this crossing at least thrice. First, two days after the inauguration, JDA placed barricades at this crossing disallowing any right turns.
As the traffic from Rambagh Circle-side heading towards Sahakar Marg had to head straight towards Tonk Phatak to take a U-turn to reach Sahakar Marg traffic at the underpass of the Puliya was getting overflow.
Following this, police broke the barricade and allowed U-turns from this crossing. But, once again, following a major accident at the crossing a day after Diwali, police decided to put barricades at the crossing.
“There’s no chance that we get the railway land adjacent to the Tonk Phatak to construct a slip road. We definitely need to plan out something because the present system is not at all conducive and will not last long. This is perhaps the only option we are left with,” another engineer added.

Delhi’s Bhairon Marg Underpass project set to miss Dec 15 deadline: Officials
The completion of the Bhairon Marg underpass in Delhi has been delayed to the end of December due to the recently imposed GRAP stage IV restrictions. Underpass number 5, part of the Pragati Maidan integrated transit corridor, has faced delays including the impact of Delhi floods and its challenging location beneath a busy railway line. The Delhi government aims to make two lanes of the underpass operational by either the last week of December or the first week of January, contingent on GRAP stage IV restrictions not being invoked again.

Soon, traffic signals at 29 spots in new sectors
GMDA has identified 29 major intersections in sectors 58 to 115 for the installation of adaptive traffic control system (ATCS) signals to ease vehicular movement. The proposal to install ATCS signals was approved by GMDA CEO PC Meena, who directed officials to expedite the project. In the second phase, the intersections where traffic signals will be set up include the roads dividing sectors 83 and 84 and 102A and 103, among others. The signals will help in better traffic management on new sector roads.

The Netherlands, long a bastion of liberalism, takes a sharp right turn
The Netherlands woke up to a drastically changed political landscape as the far-right Party for Freedom, led by Geert Wilders, swept the national elections. Wilders’ party, advocating banning the Quran and halting asylum seekers, won 37 seats in the House of Representatives. The results give Wilders enough support to form a governing coalition, potentially becoming the Netherlands’ first far-right PM. However, his radical ideas and plans to leave the EU will face rejection from other parties. Wilders tapped into discontent with government and has been compared to Marine Le Pen and Donald Trump.
