Gurugram police plan decongestion measures at Gwal Pahari junction

Officials said the plan, currently under discussion, will likely include installing signages, synchronising signals for a guided pathway, and implementing speed-calming measures for vehicular traffic at the junction and decreasing traffic load till the nearby T-point towards Ghata. The plan also contemplates lane segregation using barricades to streamline traffic enroute from Delhi to the Gurugram-Faridabad Road, and identifying internal roads feasible for traffic flow toward Faridabad to relieve pressure on the intersection. A senior official noted plans to utilise an existing 3.5-metre free left lane to avoid haphazard merging and improve connectivity with the Gurugram-Faridabad Road, particularly for roughly 23 percent of daily traffic moving toward neighbouring Haryana districts. The assessment also covers signal jumps and unregulated traffic at the T-point due to a lack of guidance through road markings and signage, with identification of encroachments and roadside parking areas that reduce carriageway widths and worsen bottlenecks as part of the plan.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Prateek Gehlot inspected the Gwal Pahari junction after motorists complained of frequent jams. As part of temporary measures, police deployment and enforcement against illegal parking were intensified to address congestion.
