“TRAFFIC TENSION AT RAILWAY LOCATION …!! ”

Since 1867, we have been  continuously very lucky as being the ticket holders  from  the  orang-ish central railway junction . Nagpur station has  drawn a line  of resistance  for all of us and has  been a strong supporter in the Nagpur’s economic phase.  Even ,the  Nagpurian  railway e---sssstyle  impresses those new “athithis” in  our city taking them back into the  old  foreign era. But,  one  problem   that  is  out of our confession is the traffic congestion at railway location. Seriously, this  dilemma can be  so much so synchronizing that it may destroy the  railway centralization.

                   Very often, we hear the term’ traffic  congestion’. Talking in  the orangish  e—ssstyle , the  word  ‘traffic  congestion ‘ is the so called ‘traffic  jam ‘, where  vehicles impede over each other blocking the entire traffic network. Traffic  near railway station is like the democratic process. Every time you think it's going to get moving and take you somewhere, you hit another jam.  Jam pe jam , jam pe jam  akhir kab tak, these endless troubles.  Generally,  this traffic congestion  eventuate at any time during day, noon and night and also  when the  train s are  either scheduled for arrival  or  departure. The number of hotels , the road-side  restaurants  and the  chaotic arrangements of  the fruit vendors have  been consequently creating troubles . The  potholes, the  disorganized drainage  system , the poor urinary habits  at the main entrance, the  unsystematic water flow on the main street , the less expanded roads  and the passing of heavy vehicles have also contributed  endlessly in  the  prejudicial  movements  of  traffic congestion. ‘Agglomeration ‘ , meaning the gathering of people  and  the  mixed   parking  strategies of  the 2-wheelers and 4-wheelers  respectively, have also been rectified as the major reasons for traffic congestions.  

                 Traffic congestion  involves queuing, slower speeds and increased travel times and also impacts the quality of life, stress, safety as well as impacts on non-vehicular  roadspace  users such as the users of sidewalks and road frontage properties.

                     It is  said that ,” Nothing is more imminent than the impossible . . . what we must always foresee is the unforeseen.”  So, there are many possible measures that can be deployed  to eradicate  or treat ‘congestion’:-

• ·         Proper road sanitization strategies.
• ·         Ensuring  that land use planning, and the community objectives it embodies, is coordinated with congestion management policies.
• ·         Deliver predictable travel times.
• ·         Effective organization of the road-side restaurants, fruit-vendors and drainage systems.
• ·         Managing highly trafficked roadways to preserve adequate system  performance.
• ·         Typical measures include planning and coordination of roadworks, speedy response to defective traffic signals and to disruptions caused by accidents and debris.
• ·         Appropriate  parking halls at the right directions.

The  question is not how should policies eradicate congestion but rather, how can authorities best avoid excessive congestion – for this is really what lies at the heart of congestion management policies .
