Will the fresh set of exit and entry points at Sirhaul toll improve traffic?

According to a traffic advisory, traffic movements will be streamlined at the Sirhaul toll area, through clearly defined entry and exit points.

All NH8 traffic coming from IFFCO Chowk will have to take the first exit point after getting down from the Shankar Chowk flyover. After that they would have to take the second and third entry points.

Commuters travelling to Rajokri, Udyog Vihar, Ambience Island, DLF Phase III need to take the exit point that comes immediately after crossing the flyover as the next exit will be at a distance of 3 kms (Kapashera exit in Delhi). The exit point right after the flyover is also the prescribed route for all commercial vehicles.

On the other hand, for traffic coming from Udyog Vihar, Cyber City and Shankar Chowk the  first exit will not be applicable.

Here are the highpoints of the advisory:

1. First Carriageway (Extreme right on NH48): Non-commercial vehicles coming from Jaipur to Delhi, should go straight on the first carriageway.

2. Second Carriageway (Shankar Chowk service lane to Delhi): This stretch is dedicated  to non-commercial vehicles. They can take it after crossing around 250 meters from the Shankar Chowk flyover.

3. Third Carriageway: This stretch is dedicated only to commercial vehicles that have to pay MCD toll. The toll is around 250 metres from end of Shankar Chowk flyover.
4. Fourth Carriageway: Vehicles going towards Ambience mall, Udyog Vihar (from the left side), DLF Phase-III and Jaipur to use this carriageway by taking a U-turn from under the Rajokri flyover. Vehicles going towards Kapashera and Rajokri should also use this carriageway.

Vehicles from Udyog Vihar and old Delhi Road going towards New Delhi will join NH48 from the entry point earmarked after the Rajokri flyover.

Carriageway 1, 2 and 3 are only for Delhi and do not have any exit before Dwarka Link Road.
