Delhi Traffic Police Pilot Parking Plan
The Delhi Traffic Police have started a new plan in a busy market called Krishna Market in South Delhi.
The plan is called 'right-left parking.'
It means that cars can only park on one side of the road each day.
The next day, they park on the other side.
This is to make sure there is enough space for cars to move around easily.
The police are trying this plan to see if it helps with the traffic problems.
If it works well, they might use it in other busy markets too.
The police are watching how it goes and will make a report about it.
Delhi Traffic Police launched a pilot project in Krishna Market, Kalkaji, to ease parking congestion.
The 'right-left parking' system allows vehicles to park on only one side of the road each day, alternating daily.
The initiative aims to address chronic congestion caused by haphazard parking on narrow market roads.
The trial began on January 15, 2024, with traffic personnel deployed to guide motorists and enforce the restriction.
If successful, the model may be extended to other congested markets across Delhi.
