A seven‑member committee in Indore has chosen four key junctions to trial a new traffic plan that eliminates left turns and aims to ease congestion.
A newly formed seven‑member committee in Indore has convened to address the city’s growing traffic woes. The group selected four busy intersections as pilot sites for a traffic‑flow experiment. The core idea is to make left turns illegal at these junctions, thereby reducing conflict points and streamlining vehicle movement.
The trial will also introduce dedicated signal timings and clearer signage to guide drivers. Officials expect that by removing left turns, the average waiting time at these crossings will drop significantly, leading to smoother traffic circulation.
If the pilot proves successful, the city plans to roll out the same measures across Indore’s entire road network. The committee will monitor traffic data and commuter feedback over the coming weeks before making a city‑wide decision.
City officials have urged residents to adapt to the new rules during the trial period and to report any issues through the municipal helpline.
