The Hyderabad Traffic Police aimed for a better flow of traffic to improve the quality of life in the city. With this idea, the Hyderabad Traffic Police launched the ‘Traffic Action Plan,’ a series of measures initiated under the ‘Enforcement’, ‘Education’ and ‘Engineering’ of traffic management.
The operation, ROPE (Removal of Obstructive Parking and Encroachments) would help to avoid violations of traffic rules including wrong illegal parking of vehicles on main roads, encroachments, sharing in auto rickshaws, hawker’s hindrance, haphazard digging of roads by several agencies, encroachments prevailing on most of the major roads in the city. The aforementioned violations, are identified as main obstructions and avoiding this could help achieve a smooth flow of traffic.
As per records, the number of vehicles has increased to 18% in 2022 with about 77,65,487 vehicles presently plying on roads, which needs strict traffic rules and better flow of traffic.
Mr. C.V. Anand, the Hyderabad City Police Commissioner spoke about the three Es, Enforcement, Education and Engineering needed for traffic management. He said, “The proposed action plan for better traffic management could succeed only if the public extended their full support to traffic police personnel.” Furthermore, he said, “During peak hours all senior officers will focus on regulation. Stop line discipline will be strictly enforced and stringent measures will be initiated against commuters resorting to wrong side driving, triple riding, improper number plates, black films and other violations. Regular meetings would be held with establishments, hawkers, schools, colleges, auto drivers, RTC drivers and all stakeholders to sensitise them on road rules and parking norms. After carrying out education campaigns, special enforcement drives will be taken up to keep a tab on errant violators.”
Furthermore, erecting sign boards at free lefts, providing a safe turning radius at U-turns and adopting reversible lanes as per the traffic flow would be studied and implemented as part of engineering measures.
After mentioning the three Es of traffic management, Mr. C.V. Anand mentioned about the fourth ‘E,’ Enablement in traffic management. In this fourth step, the Traffic Police would enhance focus on catering for the welfare needs of the traffic personnel through regular health camps, kit bags and continuous capacity building at the Traffic Training institute to strengthen the traffic wing.
Meanwhile, the Hyderabad Traffic Police launched a series of initiatives, a short film in this regard and started educating people, to follow traffic rules strictly.
