Hyderabad: The traffic police will take up a series of new measures to ease flow of traffic in the Old City from next week onwards. The police will impose traffic restrictions and diversions on a few stretches to allow free movement of traffic, especially during morning and evening hours. The traffic flow from Nayapul to Chandrayangutta is high during evening hours while it’s low on the same route in the morning. The Chatta Bazaar road connecting Nayapul-Charminar road with Darulshifa-Mir Alam Mandi road witnessed heavy motor vehicular flow.
“There is frequent traffic congestion on the narrow stretch. It has several religious structures and historic arches. The road stretch will be made one-way for morning and evening hours to allow smoother flow,” said additional DCP (traffic) Mohd Tajuddin Ahmed. The police are also planning to divert motorists travelling to Chandrayangutta and towards Pahadishareef through Lal Darwaza and Kandikalgate road. The police will narrow down the extra-wide pavement on the stretch between Nayapul Bridge and Madina Building junction. This will widen the road and create space for parking two-wheelers, police officials.
