Severe Traffic Jam leading to Air pollution, Fuel wastage & Time Consumption
Every day during peak hours (8:00–10:00 AM and 5:00–8:00 PM), commuters face severe traffic congestion along the stretch from Rahul Vihar → Bahrampur → Shani Mandir/Chhajarsi Driveway → Noida Sector 62 Roundabout. The primary reason appears to be inadequate traffic planning and the limited number of underpasses available for vehicles to make U-turns and change directions at major junctions.
As traffic accumulates near these bottlenecks, vehicle queues often extend for several kilometers, significantly increasing travel times for thousands of daily commuters. The prolonged idling of vehicles also contributes to higher fuel consumption, increased emissions, and worsening air pollution in the surrounding areas.
The situation becomes even more concerning during the monsoon season. Many underpasses along this corridor experience heavy waterlogging due to insufficient drainage infrastructure and runoff from the flyovers above. This not only slows traffic further but also creates safety risks for motorists and can potentially damage vehicles.
