Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) plans to make navigation at traffic junctions hassle free by facilitating free left turns for vehicles, improving pedestrian facilities and enhancing road safety infrastructure. The corporation has appointed a consultant to propose improvements which can be implemented at various locations.
