Widened road in Sector 31 helps ease traffic flow

Due to construction of flyovers and underpasses in Gurgaon, traffic snarls at various places become a common occurrence. Traffic is diverted accordingly to prevent any chaos. One of the major intersections is near Signature Tower from where traffic is diverted to Sector 31.

The road in Sector 31 has been widened by almost 4 metres to help manage the extra load. As part of a recent diversion at Signature Tower, vehicles are required to take a compulsory turn towards Sector 31. Currently, one lakh cars are diverted to Sector 31 for a U-turn.

Prior to the widening of the road, the intersection had traffic coming from nearby offices and also from Sector 31. During peak hours, the area used to be completely clogged with vehicles. Now the situation is manageable.

“The road has been widened as authorities had an idea that the traffic sooner or later would be diverted from Signature Tower when work commenced here,” said Raj Kumar Yadav, road safety officer (RSO).

Due to the widening of the road, vehicles that take a U-turn have a smooth movement and the road is now able to accommodate more vehicles. There is also traffic police personnel managing the traffic at the intersection.

“I work in Sector 14 and hence crossing Signature Tower is a daily affair for me. Initially, I thought this would lead to a chaos but surprisingly there is no issue,” says Neelam Sharma, a resident of South City I.
