Cycle Track and Safety Measures Planned for Chandigarh Roads
Imagine a new bike path is coming to your city!
City leaders met to discuss making roads safer.
They plan to build a cycle track on Purva Marg.
They also want to add traffic lights with timers, like a countdown for when to go.
They'll put up 'no honking' signs near schools and hospitals to keep things quiet.
They're also adding bumpy strips at the city's entrances to make cars slow down.
Lastly, they'll fix the blinker lights that help you see at night and finish building traffic booths.
Construction of a cycle track on Purva Marg is set to begin soon.
Traffic lights with countdown timers will be installed at key intersections.
'No honking' signage will be placed near hospitals and educational institutions.
Rumble strips will be installed at city entry points.
Departments will replace batteries in non-functional blinkers.
