Following discussions about pedestrian safety at a road safety meeting earlier this month, the district administration constituted a four-member committee to survey five key crossings on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway and suggest measures to resolve pedestrian issues.
Officials said that the committee will focus on Shankar Chowk, Iffco Chowk, Signature Towers, Rajiv Chowk and Hero Honda Chowk, where 80-85% of the on-road fatalities are pedestrians, due to an array of reasons ranging from lack of pedestrian amenities to long detours to access pedestrian bridges.
“Our first priority is to safeguard citizens. It was observed that at all these five points, footfall is among the highest in the city.
