New Delhi: Delhi commuters should brace themselves for a manic Monday, as the Delhi police have decided that the traffic advisory for Sunday will be effective on Monday as well.
This means, between 8 am and 8 pm on Monday, there will be a dedicated lane for Commonwealth Games athletes and officials.
The roads to be avoided are:
On Sunday, traffic on some roads which has exclusive Commonwealth Games lanes saw heavy rush as city police enforced restrictions on such stretches for 12 hours during the day.
A large number of traffic personnel were fanned out across the city to facilitate Commonwealth Games-related traffic as athletes are scheduled to visit practice venues spread across the city.
"To give facilitation to Games-related traffic, exclusive Games Lanes were maintained from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm on certain stretches of roads in Delhi," Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Satyendra Garg said.
A traffic motorcycle blowing a siren and traffic personnel at intersections will inform people about the movement of Games-related traffic.
At the time of movement, people are expected to give precedence to Games-related traffic even on the roads where an exclusive Games lane is not operational at that time.
Anyone deliberately straying into the lanes while they are operational will attract a fine of Rs. 2,000.
These exclusive lanes were from Games Village to NH-24, turn left Ring Road upto Barapullah flyover, 4th Avenue, Lodhi Road, Safdarjung Road, Kamal Ata Turk Marg and Panchsheel Marg.
"The exclusiveness of Games Lane on this stretch will be maintained from tomorrow up to October 16," Garg said.
In addition to the above stretch, additional routes may also come for operation of exclusive Lane from the dates to be intimated later.
"All road users are expected to maintain the sanctity of the dedicated lane. They should avoid getting into the dedicated lane and if inadvertently they enter the lane, they should immediately come out of it," he said.
Till the intimation, public will be able to use Games Lane on other stretches for their movement except for the time when there is Games-related movement.
