Jaipur, April 13 (SocialNews.XYZ) A special action plan has been formulated to strengthen and modernise the traffic management system in Jaipur city.
The Jaipur Traffic Police has developed a comprehensive reform framework based on detailed studies and field visits to traffic systems in major metropolitan cities across the country, followed by an extensive review. In line with the Chief Minister’s vision, the administrative framework is being enhanced for greater efficiency.
The number of Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) posts will be increased from 2 to 4, ensuring the deployment of 1 in each police district of Jaipur city.
This will expedite decision-making and improve supervisory effectiveness. Similarly, the number of Assistant Commissioner of Police (Traffic) posts will be increased from four to eight, with two assigned to each police district.
Additionally, the number of Traffic Inspectors will be increased from 15 to 20, ensuring an average deployment of five per district. Jaipur city will be divided into 72 traffic beats to ensure clear demarcation of responsibilities.
Personnel deployment within each beat will be rationalised and strengthened to enable effective traffic control and quicker response during peak hours.
To improve mobility and enforcement efficiency, 20 specially modified motorcycles will be provided to Traffic Inspectors, enabling swift movement in congested areas.
The use of advanced technology will be expanded, including increased installation of CCTV cameras linked to the Abhay Command Centre for real-time monitoring. Drones will also be deployed for traffic surveillance and congestion assessment.
Elements of the Intelligent Traffic Management System will be implemented in phases. Traffic Inspectors’ uniforms will be redesigned to enhance comfort, functionality, and distinct identity.
In the first phase, Tonk Road (from Yadgar to Sanganer) will be developed as a Model Traffic Corridor, serving as a benchmark for future projects.
Key interventions will include scientific redesign of U-turns and crossing points, closure of unsafe and unnecessary median cuts, development of continuous pedestrian footpaths, intersection improvements, parking management, and dynamic traffic systems.
Encroachments on roads and footpaths will be removed on priority, with additional cranes deployed to address illegal parking.
Clearly demarcated parking and no-parking zones will be notified, and adequate parking facilities will be developed with proper signage.
Traffic signal systems will be upgraded to dynamic operation, with timing adjustments made in real time based on traffic volume. Lane markings, zebra crossings, and stop lines will be refurbished to improve discipline.
A continuous monitoring and evaluation mechanism will be established to review the effectiveness of reforms, with modifications made based on field feedback.
An accountability framework for officials will be introduced, along with a performance-based evaluation system.
With coordinated efforts from all concerned departments, including the Municipal Corporation, Jaipur Development Authority, and the Transport Department, and with active public cooperation, these measures are expected to bring sustained and significant improvements in Jaipur’s traffic management system.
