It is evident, from the decreasing Kachha and Semi Pucca road length in proportion with the<br />
increasing Pucca roads that some work has been done in conversion of type of roads. This<br />
might be the reason behind the increasing maintenance cost where the road length remains<br />
unchanged. The width of existing roads is varying from 7m to 18m. It has been felt that there<br />
is an urgent need to widen the carriageway and extend the road lanes.<br />
Mahatma Gandhi Road (MG Road) acts as north-south spine of the city dividing the CIS<br />
Yamuna area into two parts. It is a major commercial corridor handling about 60-70% of the<br />
traffic. Thus it is the busiest road of the city, which has traffic congestion problems in the<br />
following six junctions: Bhagwan Takies, Hariparwat, Raja Mandi, St. Johns, Collectorate and<br />
State bank. Apart from MG Road junctions another six congested junctions have been<br />
identified. These are: Ram Bagh, Water Works Circle, Sultan Ganj Pulia, Yamuna Kinara<br />
marg, Bizli Ghar, Subhash Bazar (Kotwali<br />
Area).<br />
6.5.3 Parking<br />
On-road parking is a major problem on MG<br />
road from Civil court to Hari Parwat<br />
crossing, Fubbarra area, Bhagwaan Takies<br />
crossing, Khanderi crossing to Water Works<br />
crossing via Bhagwan Takies at Mathura-<br />
Kanpur road, Sikandra – Bodla – Shahganj<br />
marg, Madiya Katra to Lohamandi crossing<br />
and New Agra area at Dayalbagh Marg.<br />
Parking space is needed in these areas to Parking on road reduces capacity<br />
decrease on-street parking. Using the<br />
complete right of way may bring some solution to this problem.
