11.3 Key Issues Issues as follows, have been identified relating to traffic and transportation –<br />

GT road (NH-2) crosses the city. This leads to the unwanted entry of<br />

heavy vehicles within the city and creates accident-prone area throughout<br />

the stretch. This problem shall be partially eliminated by the completion<br />

of Allahabad bye-pass by NHAI.<br />

Rewa road (NH-27) is the major connector of MP to UP and Kolkata this<br />

leads movement of through traffic within the city.<br />

Lack of proper road geometric (Lane markings, footpath, Drainage, radius<br />

etc)<br />

High number of accidents.<br />

No parking space provisions in commercial areas.<br />

Saturation of capacity of some of the intersections.<br />

Railway line dividing into two half resulting in too many level crossings.<br />

Existing RUB are quite narrow they need to be widened to smoothen the<br />

traffic flow<br />

Large percentage of slow moving vehicles in the old city leading to<br />

reduced level of service.<br />

Ineffective traffic control and management measure – most of the roads in<br />

old city are used for haphazard on-street parking.<br />

Absence of public transport system in the city has resulted in improper<br />

operation of intermediate public transport vehicles causing traffic<br />

congestion.<br />

Heterogeneity of traffic obstructs the traffic flow and causes congestion<br />

on arterial roads<br />

Low bus handling capacity of the terminals.<br />

Bus terminals located in the core city area.<br />

Capacity saturation of some of the major roads.<br />

Pollution due to the use of petrol and diesel in public transport.<br />
