Parking near markets on Dwarka Central Road


Central Road from sector-8 to Dwarka Mor metro station passes through highly populated sectors of Dwarka sub city. Sectors 6/10 Markets & Sectors 4/5/11/12 markets make passage of vehicles a challenge especially in the evenings. Vehicles of all hues & sizes are parked haphazardly on both sides of central road. Both parking in & out are hazardous. Driving through narrow space left becomes difficult. Scratches & minor accidents are routine. Even service lanes near markets witness indiscriminate parking. Just look at recent picture above.

Few of suggestions to decongest & streamline the traffic are as follows:

1. No parking of vehicles (including Rikshaws) should be allowed on Central Road. This is traffic-intensive road. Newly introduced bus service along central road necessitates decongested passage.

2. SERVICE LANES near 6/10 & 4/5/11/12 markets should have car parking on ONE side of service lane only for easy maneuvering.

3. All 2-wheelers should be parked NEAR BUILDINGS on one side of MARKET PARKING. 4-wheelers of occupants of shops & offices should be parked along the WALL inside market parking.

4. Service lanes near Sports complex (opposite sector-10 market) & near nursery ( opposite sector-6 market) should be used for parking of additional vehicles.

5. Simailarly, area available near foot of the bridge on sectors 5 & 11 side should be used for vehicle parking.

6. Necessary sign-boards along central road would help educate commuters to identify authorised parking areas leading to better compliance.
