Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Traffic Police are planning to introduce a new one-way traffic system at Lakdi-ka-pul to ease congestion and ensure smoother movement of vehicles in the busy area.
City Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar, along with Traffic Joint Commissioner D Joel Davis, inspected the proposed routes on a bike on Friday.
The officials examined traffic conditions at Dwaraka Hotel, Old Saifabad Police Station, HDFC junction, Iqbal Minar, Ravindra Bharathi, Lakdi-ka-pul crossroads and Old Control Room junction.
Under the proposed plan, vehicles travelling from Old Control Room towards Secunderabad via Ravindra Bharathi will be diverted through HDFC, Old Saifabad Police Station, Iqbal Minar and Secretariat junction instead of being allowed directly through Ravindra Bharathi.
Similarly, vehicles from Nirankari junction towards Old Control Room will be diverted through Old Saifabad Police Station, Iqbal Minar and Ravindra Bharathi.
Vehicles from Secretariat junction and Telangana Thalli flyover towards Old Saifabad Police Station will also follow a revised route via Iqbal Minar, Ravindra Bharathi and Old Control Room, taking a U-turn before proceeding through Assembly Gate No. 3 and HDFC junction.
