Traffic violations and acute shortage of personnel has been one of the major cause for traffic jams in Dimapur and each day, the problem worsens. <\/p>\nTraffic violations and acute shortage of personnel has been one of the major cause for traffic jams in Dimapur and each day, the problem worsens. <\/p>\n
As part of a new plan (among several tried, tested and failed in the past), Dimapur Traffic Police Saturday morning tried to enforce bumper-to-bumper parking.
\nDrivers were unhappy and uncooperative as it meant more time to park in between vehicles by moving front and reversing.
\nAs per the new rule, the space between bumper-to-bumper was 3\u00bd feet which is practically impossible owing to narrow road and also which would add to traffic jam. <\/p>\n
Police personnel led by DSP Traffic were seen manning the traffic since 6 a.m. but hardly one or two cars complied with the new rule as most preferred the easy horizontal style. And that remains the main problem in Dimapur.<\/p>\n
Traffic Personnel had to run from one end to the other to enforce the new rule but unfortunately, taking on unruly and indisciplined drivers only added to their problems.<\/p>\n
The best option would be to fall back on earlier plan of construction of one flyover from Ghorapatty to Purana Bazar and one culvert at Thaheku to East Police Station side.<\/p>\n
Traffic Police in Dimapur is also woefully short of manpower where each traffic island needed at least five on duty at a time.
\nIt maybe mentioned that Home minister, L. Imkong Imchen was also seen inspecting the traffic between Dhobinala junction and Holy Cross junction, Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
\n\u2018No U-Turns for Ur-Turns\u2019<\/span> However, the main arterial road in the heart of the city needs some serious review.<\/p>\n 1. Vehicles coming from Holy Cross side should not be allowed to take a U-turn at the traffic island. They can either turn left to NL Road or straight towards Dhobinalla.<\/p>\n 2. Similarly, vehicles from Dhobinalla side should not be allowed to turn right towards NP Road. The vehicles should drive straight to Clock Tower junction if they want to go to NL Road.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Traffic violations and acute shortage of personnel has been one of the major cause for traffic jams in Dimapur and each day, the problem worsens.
