Five traffic signals on Mumbai-Agra NH will be managed by NMC

10 Apr 2023 CW Team

A total of 52 traffic lights are present in the city, with seven located on the Mumbai-Agra national highway and the remaining 45 located at various intersections on city streets and state highways. The city is traversed by 70 km of national and state roadways. The NHAI installed and managed each of the seven traffic lights along the Mumbai-Agra National Highway. The road safety committee, which is made up of representatives from the NMC, commissioner of police, RTO, PWD, and other departments, met in November of last year to address the concerns surrounding accident black spots in the city and the necessary actions.

The seven inoperable traffic signals along the national highway should all be functioning; it was resolved during the meeting. The NMC had written to the NHAI, which owned the traffic lights, encouraging them to take the necessary action. However the NHAI did not activate the signals until February. However, the NHAI has asked the local government to maintain and run five of its seven traffic lights. The traffic lights have been officially turned over to the NMC by the NHAI. The maintenance and operation of these signals are currently the subject of tender, the official stated.

Hotel Jatra, Bali Mandir, Amrutdham, Aurangabad Naka, and Wadala Naka are the locations of these five traffic signals. Within a fortnight, the tendering procedure should be finished, the spokesman stated. In October and December of the previous year, the city recorded two significant bus accidents involving the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC). While the other event occurred at Palse Village Chowk on the national highway, the October incident happened close to Mirchi Hotel Chowk.

The Mumbai-Agra National Highway's five out of seven traffic signals will henceforth be operated and maintained by the Nashik Municipal Council (NMC). These five places, according to an NMC officer, are accident black spots and fall under the jurisdiction of the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). They recently complied with the NHAI's request to run and maintain these traffic signals. To replace some of the current traffic signals, the city authority will spend about Rs 1.8 million, the source added.
