In order to minimize inconvenience to the public due to construction works and for the convenience of the commuters, NCRTC is strictly following the below-mentioned measures:
More details:
- Anti-smog guns are being used frequently to control the dust and pollution caused by construction work.
- Water is being sprinkled from water tankers at the construction site to prevent flying dust to cause inconvenience to the commuters.
- In case of diversion on roads and use of big machines at RRTS sites, Impact Protection Vehicles (IPV) are used at night which signal people to move in the other direction. The three coloured lights at the rear of this vehicle act as indicators and reflectors.
- A traffic diversion scheme is used, under which the approval of local police and traffic police is taken for the installation of barricades or diversion on the road and work is done in collaboration with them.
- Traffic marshals are deployed for convenience near construction sites and U-turns and the number of marshals is continuously modified as per the requirement in high-congestion areas.
- NCRTC also works in cooperation with local agencies and requests them to deploy additional traffic inspectors as and when required or for special events like fairs or religious events.
- Surveillance is being done by CCTV cameras at various places for the prevention and management of traffic-related problems around construction sites. Simultaneously, mannequins are also installed at various places.
- Defensive driving training is imparted to the drivers of trucks and large machines transporting construction material to the construction sites of NCRTC.
- To spread awareness about road safety, NCRTC organises street plays and community interaction programs from time to time to spread awareness about the RRTS project.
- Rope lighting is installed at the barricading on the Delhi-Meerut RRTS corridor for people to clearly see the barricading at night and to reduce the possibility of accidents.
- Maintenance and repair of barricades from the Delhi to Meerut stretch are done from time to time so that people do not face any kind of problem in movement.
- Considering the current worsening environmental condition of Delhi-NCR, NCRTC has intensified the measures already being taken by it.
