KEY ISSUES FOR GURGAON
»Millennium city - image of the city important
»Adequate good quality transport system (Road System and Mass Transit)
»Unaesthetic components of transport system to be avoided
»Institutional inadequacies
![Page 10: TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ISSUES FOR GURGAON YASH SACHDEVA General Manager (Urban Transport)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815440550346895dc2470d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
JUNCTION IMPROVEMENT S
»Junctions are the major causes of congestion
»Potential exists for their improvement
- geometric improvements
- traffic circulation
- traffic signals
» Area-wide/corridor improvement plans
» 25-30 problem junctions
![Page 11: TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ISSUES FOR GURGAON YASH SACHDEVA General Manager (Urban Transport)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815440550346895dc2470d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT S
»Encroachments on carriageways, footpath and road margins
- reduce road capacity
- create side friction
»Improve major corridors of movement
- remove encroachments and rehabilitate affected people
- organise parking
- provide road signages/markings
- revise traffic circulation
- improve road surface
»120 km of major corridors, 50 km having severe traffic problems
» Start with one corridor as pilot project
»Involve stakeholders, public consultations
![Page 12: TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ISSUES FOR GURGAON YASH SACHDEVA General Manager (Urban Transport)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815440550346895dc2470d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ROAD MAINTENANCE»Poorly maintained roads reduce capacity
»Causes
- inadequate pavement thickness
- inadequate drainage
»Well-maintained roads – first impression of any city
»A rigid maintenance and resurfacing programme necessary
»Higher specifications for major roads (about 120 km)
»Higher budgets for road maintenance

ADEQUATE MASS TRANSPORT SYSTEM» Adequate and integrated mass transport system – MOST
IMPORTANT
» Existing level of mass transport low
» Share of mass transport to be gradually increased to 60% of total vehicular person trips
» Good quality mass transport system – a must for people to shift from cars/2W
»Start with a city-wide urban bus system with at least 200 buses
» Good quality urban buses - low floors, air-conditioned
»Mix of standard and mini buses, high frequencies
»Well designed bus stops
![Page 14: TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ISSUES FOR GURGAON YASH SACHDEVA General Manager (Urban Transport)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815440550346895dc2470d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ADEQUATE MASS TRANSPORT SYSTEM
»Major corridors of traffic movement for the future and
system to be identified on the basis of projected traffic
- Metro, Light Rail, Monorail, BRT etc
» Second Metro connection to Delhi
» Regional Rapid Transport System ( Rail System) (Delhi to Alwar via Gurgaon)
»Intra-urban system to be integrated to Delhi Metro and RRTS
![Page 15: TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ISSUES FOR GURGAON YASH SACHDEVA General Manager (Urban Transport)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815440550346895dc2470d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
NON - MOTORISED TRANSPORT» 27% of total trips by walk, but negligible good quality facilities for pedestrians
» Bicycle-share not high but needs to be increased
» Facilities for NMT to be augmented substantially
» All roads to be provided with wide footpaths (min 2m)
» Proper design of footpaths
- Low height
- Good surface quality
- Continuity of footpaths
» Pedestrianisation of streets
» Pedestrian subways/foot bridges to be provided carefully
![Page 16: TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ISSUES FOR GURGAON YASH SACHDEVA General Manager (Urban Transport)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815440550346895dc2470d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
INTERMEDIATE PUBLIC TRANSPORT
» IPT modes (cycle rickshaws and auto rickshaws) important for Gurgaon and will remain so
» The plan should take cognizance of IPT modes
» IPT to be integral part of transport system
» Existing IPT terminals – road-side
» Provide off-street terminals
» IPT system to also act as feeder system
»facilities to be planned
» IPT operators to be encouraged to participate in planning process
![Page 17: TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ISSUES FOR GURGAON YASH SACHDEVA General Manager (Urban Transport)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815440550346895dc2470d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
ROAD SYSTEM» Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway
- toll plaza problems
- IT based solutions needed, instead of addl toll plazas
- toll tickets may be sold at shops etc
- Delhi metro type toll cards
- Traffic dispersal at junctions- TSM measures and grade separation
» More road connections to Delhi
- need to provide faster access to the new links
» Strengthening of north-south road links
»Strengthening of circular corridors
» Flyovers/underpasses at important junctions and railway crossings
»Hierarchy of roads to be defined

PARKING»PARKING - a growing menace
»Most parking - on-street
»On-street also important as large proportion of parking is of short-term duration
»Parking should not hinder traffic flow
»Evolve a proper Parking policy
»City wide parking plan to be prepared
»Provision of off-street parking facilities –surface and automated
»Differential parking pricing for off and on-street parking
»Provision of adequate mass transport system will reduce parking demand

INSTITUTIONAL STREGTHENING»Urban transport - an institutional orphan
»Institutional strengthening crucial for urban transport
»Strengthening/Setting up of Institutions
»Short term courses in traffic engg/management for existing staff
»Traffic engineering cells in Municipal Corporation, HUDA , Traffic Police and State PWD
»Transport Planning Unit in Town and Country Planning Deptt
»Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority at a later date
»Gurgaon Bus Transport Corporation
»Gurgaon Mass Transit Corporation
»Traffic Police
»Increase in manpower
»Training of staff
»Equipments, CTC
