Summary:
“The collector’s notification will help in considerably reducing the peak time congestion of vehicles along this important stretch of the highway,” an officer from the Pune Rural police said. This has also contributed to fatal accidents.”Over 200 large, medium and small industrial units are located at the hubs along the highway, which is used extensively by heavy vehicles. As of now, the police have deployed 15 personnel at vantage points to monitor traffic movement along this stretch.“Wrong-side driving is a big issue. Many villagers living close to the highway drive their vehicles in opposite direction, posing grave concern to daily commuters. Most vehicles moving along this stretch barely get much space for smooth movement..
