Nagpur: In a move aimed at streamlining traffic and enhancing commuter convenience, the Nagpur Traffic Police Department has modified signal operations at several key intersections in the city. The changes are being implemented to address varying traffic density during specific hours of the day.

Traffic signals at certain intersections with lower vehicular movement will now operate in blinker mode (yellow/amber light) between 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM, as traffic volume is significantly reduced during this period. This adjustment aims to save commuters’ time and fuel by minimizing unnecessary halts at such signals.

To ensure safety, a speed limit of 20 km/h has been set for vehicles passing through these intersections while the signals are in blinker mode. The list of intersections affected by this change has been released (attached below).

List of Intersections Operating in Blinker Mode (1:00 PM to 4:00 PM):

1. NIT T-Point

2. Bajaj Nagar Square

3. Gajanan School T-Point

4. Trisharan Square

5. Awari Square

6. Vijay Talkies T-Point

7. KannaMwar Square

8. Ahimsa Square

9. Raja Rani Square

10. Dharampeth Y-Point

11. Ajit Bakery T-Point

12. GPO Square

13. Moh. Rafi Square

14. 10-Number Pulia

The initiative, which is being implemented on a trial basis for one month, is expected to improve traffic flow and reduce commuter fatigue.

Public Appeal:

The Traffic Police request all motorists to adhere to the speed limit and traffic rules at these intersections during the trial period. Cooperation in following these regulations is crucial to ensuring public safety and the smooth implementation of this system.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Archit Chandak, emphasized that this initiative aligns with efforts to create a more efficient and commuter-friendly traffic system in Nagpur.
