Hyderabad, November 6: Hyderabad City Police are exploring a new one-way traffic system at Lakdikapul to ease congestion and ensure smoother vehicular movement in the busy area.
Hyderabad Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar, IPS, conducted a field inspection on a motorcycle on Friday, accompanied by Traffic Joint Commissioner D. Joel Davis, IPS, and DCP-1 Avinash Kumar, IPS. The team inspected traffic conditions and road layouts around Dwaraka Hotel, Old Saifabad Police Station, HDFC Junction, Iqbal Minar, Ravindra Bharathi, Lakdikapul crossroads and Old Control Room Junction.
Under the proposed plan, vehicles travelling from Old Control Room towards Secunderabad via Ravindra Bharathi and Iqbal Minar may be diverted through HDFC Junction, Old Saifabad Police Station, Iqbal Minar and Secretariat Junction.
Similarly, vehicles heading from Nirankari Junction towards Old Control Room may be diverted at Old Saifabad Police Station and routed via Iqbal Minar and Ravindra Bharathi. Vehicles travelling from Secretariat Junction and Telangana Thalli Flyover towards Old Saifabad Police Station may also follow a revised route via Iqbal Minar, Ravindra Bharathi, Old Control Room, Assembly Gate No. 3 and HDFC Junction.
The police will hold a coordination meeting with GHMC, the Water Board, the Electricity Department and other agencies before taking a final decision. The proposed one-way system will initially be implemented on a trial basis, and its permanent introduction will depend on the outcome.
The Commissioner said similar traffic-management measures were being examined in other congested parts of Hyderabad. He urged motorists to cooperate with the traffic police to ensure safer and smoother journeys.
