Six years after the holy city was declared to be developed as a Smart City, its road infrastructure-related basic requirements like digital clocks at traffic lights, tow-away zones, designated protest sites, etc, have not yet been fulfilled. The ever-rising number of vehicles and shrinking road space necessitate widening roads, using modern gadgets, devising a plan and paying more attention to tackle the problem.
For instance, many intersection traffic lights have not been provided with a digital clock to alert motorists to turn off/on ignition. Similarly, the city does not have a designated protest site, tow-away zones, separate lanes for autos and rickshaws, one-way traffic, paid parking zones, etc.
