Rajiv Chowk needs signals and pedestrian refuge islands, say experts
Experts recommended installation of traffic signals, pedestrian refuge islands and pelican lights, among other safety measures, at Rajiv Chowk to make commute safer for pedestrians and cyclists, as per a report prepared on the behest of the district administration.
The report, prepared by WRI India, Raahgiri Foundation, and Nagarro, to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities at the Rajiv Chowk black spot was submitted to deputy commissioner Yash Garg earlier in the week.
A 500-metre stretch of a national highway is considered a black spot when more than five fatal accidents or at least 10 fatalities have been recorded over a three-year period.
