Traffic: Jda Plans Permanent U-turn On Tiraha Towards Sahakar Marg | Jaipur News
Jaipur: The Jaipur police and the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) has decided a new diversion plan for traffic along the Laxmi Mandir post implementation of the signal-free traffic project at this crossing.
Vehicles coming from Rambagh Circle side of Tonk Road which have to take a right turn towards Sahakar Margor Bais Godam will need to take a U-turn from the tiraha, instead of heading straight towards Gandhi Nagar Railway station and then take a U-turn through the culvert of the Tonk Phatak Puliya.After taking the U-turn, these vehicles will take a left turn on the road where JDA had constructed the new underpass to reach Sahakar Marg right in front of the JP underpass.
“Following a letter from Prahlad Singh Krishnia on October 15 we had removed the barricades from the median right at the Tiraha of Tonk Road. For the last 15-days experiment was on to see the flow of traffic with the U-turn at the Tiraha. The experiment is successful and now this should be considered as the permanent solution,” said Vikram Singh, the executive engineer of JDA looking after this project.
Officials disclosed, after JDA put barricade on the centre of the Tiraha, a couple of days after chief minister Ashok Gehlot inaugurated the project on September 28, traffic on the Barkat Nagar side of the Tonk Phatak would come to a standstill, especially whenever the Phatak got closed to allow movements of trains.
A senior official of the Jaipur police got stuck in the jam and police started interactions with the JDA officials.
“Finally, it was decided that for a few days, on an experimental basis, we would allow the U-turn. If the plan clicks, we will continue with this system. We had found that this system will stop additional pressure on the underpass and Barkat Nagar area as vehicles intending to take a U-turn or a right turn towards Sahakar Marg won’t have to go till the underpass,” said an official.
One problem that prevailed is that pedestrians are now taking the stretch earmarked for the U-turn as there are no openings for them to cross the Tonk Road at the Tiraha. JDA will construct a pedestrian bridge and are presently in the process of earmarking a portion near the Tiraha to construct this bridge.
