Parking parents jam Hamilton Court road

It’s a traffic nightmare for a little over thousand residents of Hamilton Court in DLF Phase IV from 8 am to 8.30 in the morning as well as 2.15 pm to 3 pm. For them having The Shriram School as their neighbours is a pain as hordes of vehicles come here to drop and pick up children from school.
All these vehicles are parked on the main road and the main gate of Hamilton Court is being used by these vehicles for the U-turn making it nearly impossible for the residents to go out during these times.

“Earlier, there was no problem as there was a vacant space next to the school from where the parents used to pick up their children. Now some construction is going on there and thus there’s no option for parents but to park on the main road,” says Om Prakash Khetan, president, Hamilton Court Residents’ Welfare Association.
“We have approached the previous police commissioner, Mohinder Lal, as well as the DCP Traffic to solve this problem. We are still waiting for their response,” says SK Dutta, General Secretary of DLF City Senior citizen council and a resident of Hamilton Court.
According to Khetan, there are three solutions to this problem.
Either the authorities make this road one-way during 8 am to 9 am and 2 pm to 3 pm or the school authorities stagger the timings of the school. If both are not possible, then there’s a huge vacant land next to the school. If it is cleaned up, parents can easily drive there and pick up their wards from there.
Estate Officer of Hamilton Court, Surender Sharma, says, “It’s not only about traffic jams here. There can be accidents as nobody follows rules here. The school kids can be in danger as they come out of the school. A solution is urgently needed.”
