Staggered timings among suggestions made to ease traffic in IT corridor
HYDERABAD: To address the growing traffic concerns in Cyberabad, particularly the IT Corridor, industry members convened a meeting with Commissioner Avinash Mohanty along with Cyberabad traffic police Commissioner Joel Davis on Monday.
The meeting was aimed at exploring short-term and medium-term solutions to alleviate traffic congestion in the IT hubs of Hitec City and the Financial District.
Several strategies were discussed such as staggered shifts to ease traffic both across the week and within the day, IT companies to share information on arrival patterns for better data collection and prediction, installation of cameras on high rise buildings for live monitoring of traffic flow, support with traffic marshals to enable better traffic management with potentially utilizing CSR funds for this initiative.
Other ideas on the table were encouraging employees for carpooling, improving roads and creating alternate routes to help ease some of the traffic flows.
Improving public transport infrastructure for support staff across hitec city and financial district areas including parking facilities and bus bays at Raidurgam metro station, and Image Towers was also discussed.
