Ahmedabad: Now taking left turn to be obstacle-free

  • | Friday | 4th October, 2019

Motorists may be able to take a left turn at crossroads without obstacles as Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) is exploring if additional space can be provided in the left lane. At crossroads, a left turn is a freeway and only those who have to go straight or turn right have to follow red traffic light. "Often the left lane does not have enough width. So motorists who want to turn left do not have sufficient place to go. However, he did not reply when asked what will be done to ensure that the left lane is not blocked due to lane violation.

Motorists may be able to take a left turn at crossroads without obstacles as Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) is exploring if additional space can be provided in the left lane. At crossroads, a left turn is a freeway and only those who have to go straight or turn right have to follow red traffic light. However, often at crossroads, the motorist does not follow lane discipline while driving and those who want to go straight, stop their vehicles in the left lane, blocking the traffic for motorists who want to turn left. The issue was discussed at the meeting of the Standing Committee of AMC on Thursday. "Often the left lane does not have enough width. So motorists who want to turn left do not have sufficient place to go. We are exploring to provide additional land, wherever AMC has one so that motorists are not obstructed," said Amul Bhatt, Chairman of Standing Committee of AMC. However, he did not reply when asked what will be done to ensure that the left lane is not blocked due to lane violation. The civic body also decided to expedite repair work on over-bridges and roads as it appears that it will no longer rain.
