Jaipur Authority to Reconfigure Vande Mataram Road

The Jaipur Development Authority has unveiled plans to reconfigure Vande Mataram Road, covering a six-kilometre, 200-foot stretch, with the stated objective of making it accident-free. The redesign will draw on the alignment and safety features used on the Delhi–Ahmedabad corridor and will focus on engineering measures to reduce collisions. The authority has framed the scheme as part of broader urban road safety and mobility improvement efforts. Design work will follow established road engineering standards and urban mobility guidelines to ensure resilience and longevity.

The proposals envisage segregated lanes for different vehicle types, a continuous central median, dedicated pedestrian crossings and widened footpaths to improve walkability. The plan also includes enhancements to street lighting, traffic signal modernisation and clearly marked bus bays to streamline public transport movement. Landscaping and urban design treatments are to be incorporated to calm traffic and improve visibility at junctions. Traffic management during construction will be planned to maintain access for emergency services and essential transport.

Officials said the project will proceed after detailed traffic surveys, safety audits and stakeholder consultations to finalise designs and phasing. Works are expected to be executed in stages to minimise disruption to commuters and to allow monitoring of safety outcomes at each phase. Coordination with municipal services will address drainage, utilities and maintenance responsibilities. The authority will review safety data regularly and adapt measures to emerging needs and patterns.

Planners expect the redesign to lower accident rates, improve traffic flow and create a safer environment for pedestrians and cyclists while preserving capacity for vehicular traffic. The authority intends to publish progress updates and safety performance metrics as the scheme advances to ensure accountability. The project is presented as a model for other urban corridors seeking to combine mobility, safety and urban renewal. Officials expect community feedback to inform minor refinements over time.
