After a long time I took the Patel Nagar Road through Shadipur Depot rail-overbridge to go to Punjabi Bagh. I was amazed to find that the journey time has reduced considerably. Most of the Metro work on this route is done now. Only troublesome stretch is the Shadipur Depot area. Rest almost all the work is done. So vehicles get enough road space at this corridor.

Another important fact is that once you get down the rail-overbridge, the road leading towards Punjabi Bagh was getting a lot of traffic jams. The flyover work is under construction at Moti Nagar towards Karampura, due to which the road space was very less for road users. This lead to huge traffic jams at this stretch too. But now this problem is solved as authorities have widened the road considerably here. Only problem that I faced here on the road is near the Pusa road stretch. The traffic lights are few intersections were not working. I think there’s some problem with the traffic signals here.

Meanwhile, to ease traffic flow, the cops have done a one-way traffic arrangement on the New Rohtak Road stretch for wuite sometime now. Vehicles coming from Punjabi Bagh going towards Karol Bagh have to take a left turn from under the Zakhira flyover and move towards Tri-Nagar. Then they turn right from Gulabi Bagh intersection towards Kamal T-Point to continue their journey. I think it is a nice traffic arrangement and is working well towards easing congestion on this stretch.

The only problem here now is the stretch, which connects the Anand Parbat Bus Terminal with the New Rohtak Road. This is a one-way road but there are lot of vehicles, which ply in the opposite direction coming from the residential colonies and going towards Karol Bagh. This creates lot of blockage here especially during evening peak hours. Even the buses taking a turn at Anand Parbat bus terminal also create a lot of jam here. I think cops should be posted here and vehicles coming against the flow of traffic should be challaned.
