Chandigarh, 4th October 2019: The Engineering
Department, Chandigarh Administration achieved yet another landmark by
providing Road Embedded Traffic Light signal on Uttar Marg adjacent to parking lot of Sukhna lake. The
signal was inaugurated by Sh. Manoj Parida, Adviser to Administator today.
The visitors coming at lake park their vehicles at the
parking that is at the opposite side of the lake and cross the road to visit
lake . Though, the stop lines and zebra crossing are marked on the road, yet
due to heavy influx of visitors, more safety measures are required for public
safety. A decision was taken in this regard to provide this road embedded
signal, so as to provide a light actuated barrier to the traffic for safety of
the visitors crossing the road. This will eliminate the possibility of any
mishappening.
The Chief Engineer-cum- Special Secretary (Engg.)
apprised that this system is being implemented first time as pilot project and if found successful, it will be
replicated at other vulnerable locations across the city as this is a big
milestone for road safety.
