Road Audit- Anand Gadgil Chowk (Tilak road)

Tuesday, 5th September 2017

Summary of Activity:

This chowk serves as the link to the areas like Swargate, Deccan and Kothrud. As these areas are hotspots to bus depots, offices, residential areas, renowned schools and colleges and many small scale business shops are the reasons for heavy traffic.We observed that vehicles were not parked orderly as per P1 and P2 rule, leading to congestion of the road. Excessive honking was observed in the vicinity of residential areas, schools and colleges. Many drivers indulged in jumping traffic traffic lights and rash driving without considering the safety of themselves and the other. A plethora of buses and other heavy vehicles were seen clogging the road. The major problems here were:

Due to narrow width of the road and improper functioning of the signals results in chaotic situations and is often created due to the locomotion of the buses, light vehicles and pedestrians.

Even though there is an alternate parking system on both sides of the road, drivers still park their vehicles on both sides of the road..

Outcome of Activity:

  1. The provision of the halting areas at bus stops, for the buses would ensure a smooth flow of traffic.
  2. Recalibration of signal timing and their maintenance should be considered to ensure safety of the pedestrians.

By this activity students learned:

  1. Identification of social issues and finding the solution for it.
  2. Working in team.
  3. Realization of Traffic Management problems

Road Audit- Baba Saheb Ambedkar Chowk

Thursday, 7th September 2017

Summary of Activity:

This chowk serves as the link to the loop Nagar road, Poona club golf course, Alandi road and areas like Sangamwadi, Vimannagar and Yerawada.We observed that careless pedestrians and over confident bikers used their cell phones on the road, while being completely unaware of the oncoming vehicles. One side of the road has no zebra crossing causing a life threatening isnconvenience for pedestrians. Horrible road conditions cause traffic jams and excessive honking.

We conclude that the major problems here were:

The road condition has seriously deteriorated which poses as a serious threat to two and four wheelers alike.

Dividers are small causing heavy vehicles collide with them frequently resulting in traffic jams

Outcome of Activity:

We were able to provide a few probable solutions that are:

  1. Rework of dividers, reflectors, traffic lights and refilling the pot holes.
  2. The presence of at least one traffic in charge during the peak hours would help bring order in an otherwise chaotic traffic flow.
  3. Painting of Zebra crossing.

By this activity students learned:

  1. Identification of social issues and finding the solution for it.
  2. Working in team.
