Pune Traffic Eases: Key Junction Gets a Makeover
20 Feb
Summary
- Barricades and relocated bus stops improve traffic flow.
- Manual traffic management aids movement during peak hours.
- Relocated bus stops and new barricades ease congestion.
Traffic flow on the CoEP flyover route towards JM Road near Sancheti Hospital Chowk in Pune has seen noticeable improvement recently. Authorities introduced several corrective measures, including the installation of new barricades to streamline vehicle movement at the junction and the relocation of two PMPML bus stops that previously caused obstructions.
Manual traffic management by personnel during peak hours is actively preventing congestion, alongside efforts to restrict heavy vehicle entry. These changes have eased regular traffic snarls that frequently occurred along the stretch encompassing Sancheti Hospital Chowk, the CoEP flyover, and Shimla Office Chowk.
While commuters acknowledge the reduced congestion and improved traffic speed, some suggest further enhancements. Suggestions include clearer lane markings and the installation of direction boards to guide motorists. There are also calls for stricter enforcement against lane-blocking autorickshaws and private vehicles.
