Noida U-turns: When solution becomes the problem

Noida | Tuesday | 7th August, 2018

Summary:

NOIDA: One road in Noida has as many as four of those oddly shaped U-turns in a 2km stretch — concrete arms sticking out into traffic’s path like a bird’s outstretched wings. It is scary at times,” said a motorist.Commuters travelling from Sector 61 towards Sector 71 drive on the wrong side to reach the gas station. The U-turn was constructed by the Noida Authority so that those travelling from Sector 62 can travel towards Sector 71 without having to take a U-turn from the Sector 71 red light. Rajeev Tyagi, chief project engineer, Noida Authority, said the U-turns will be studied and corrective measures will be considered. While two of these four u-turns were constructed by DMRC, two others were built by Noida Authority.A spokesperson for DMRC said it had only acted upon the suggestion of the Noida Authority..
