Traffic Management Challenges on Delhi Expressways

Traffic congestion is a significant issue on major routes in the Delhi-NCR region, particularly between Noida and Delhi, where factors like road narrowing, illegal parking, and potholes have worsened the situation during rush hours. Commuters face additional challenges from unauthorized bus halts and stray cattle, which impede flow and contribute to lengthy delays. In Gurugram, stalled flyover construction on the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway has led to traffic jams and waterlogging, prompting local activists to seek urgent repairs and project completion from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The NHAI has committed to addressing these concerns, but continues to face weather-related delays. Meanwhile, weekend traffic on the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway remained smooth, attributed to a lower volume of vehicles, although congestion persisted in some areas due to ongoing construction. Authorities recommend alternative routes and public transport to mitigate potential delays during peak travel times.
