The decision by the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) to revamp and restructure major intersections in the city is a welcome move. Let's remember that, on average, three to five lakh vehicles ply the city roads daily. Many intersections across the city have experienced unprecedented growth in traffic volume over the past few decades. The timely and fitting move by the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), the district's master authority for building and revamping infrastructure, will bring significant relief to daily commuters. It will also boost economic activities and help reduce fuel consumption and pollution at major intersections.<figure class="image"><img src="https://www.signatureglobal.in/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Industry-News-14.jpg" alt=""></figure>The Authority has identified more than a dozen intersections across the city, including Ghata Chowk, Hero Honda Chowk, Atul Kataria Chowk, Pataudi Chowk, Basai Chowk, Umang Bhardwaj Chowk, and many others for revamping purposes. The plan aims to tackle traffic congestion, provide safe pedestrian movement, and improve intra-city mobility for a smooth traffic flow. As part of the project, civil works are expected to be carried out on major junctions to rebuild or revamp slip lanes, walkways, cycle tracks, and other road safety measures.Indeed, the Authority deserves wide appreciation for such a mega-revamping plan that is in the best interest of the city. Let's remember that Gurugram, often touted as the Millennium City, stands at the crossroads of progress and chaos due to the burgeoning population and rapid urbanization. The city has witnessed a phenomenal surge in traffic volume in the past two decades. These intersections, built long ago, have turned into bottleneck points, prompting the Authority to prepare a comprehensive revamp plan to alleviate escalating traffic pressure, especially during rush hours.Gurugram has been developed in phases, with the government developing sectors up to 57 in phase one and sectors 58 to 115 in phase two. Gurugram's population is increasing by two lakhs per year, putting immense pressure on the city's infrastructure. The pressure on existing roads is a significant concern, evident in long traffic jams at almost every intersection and road.Gurugram, with a population of more than thirty lakhs, sees two to three lakh people traveling to and from the city to other NCR cities for jobs and other purposes, creating heavy traffic volume and vehicular pressure on road infrastructure. More than 250 Fortune 500 companies and over eleven thousand big and small industries/factories operate from this city.<a href="https://www.signatureglobal.in/residential/premium/">Signature Global</a>, the city's trustworthy real estate promoter, welcomes the move aimed at boosting day-to-day activities and mobility at large.
