WHAT! New parking laws for Mumbai?
Traffic problems continue to remain a major problem in Mumbai. The streets of Mumbai have not been able to cope with the increased number of vehicles. Also, the ongoing construction of Mumbai Metro has added to the hassles. Now Sanjay Pandey, new Commissioner of Mumbai Police has brought in a series of initiatives to improve the traffic conditions. In today’s article, we will see things Sanjay Pandey is planning to do and what could be the new parking laws for Mumbai.
New Mumbai parking law – No parking, no car
Road-side parking is a major issue in Mumbai. To cope with this, Sanjay Pandey has given a unique solution. According to him, you will have to show proof that you have a parking spot before you can buy a new car.
New Mumbai parking law – Wrong side driving
Wrong side driving is another menace. Sanjay Pandey has given strict instructions to his department that wrong side driving should not be tolerated. Earlier, there was a fine, but Sanjay Pandey has said that people caught driving on the wrong side will have to appear before the court and their vehicle will be impounded.
Remove khatara
Another initiative started by Sanjay Pandey is the ‘Remove Khatara’ initiative. The initiative relates to removing abandoned (khatara) vehicles, which were clogging the roads, leading to congestion and bottlenecks. Traffic police are removing 270 to 300 such cars every day.
Biking corridors
Sanjay Pandey is also looking to open special biking corridors in Mumbai. One of the tweets suggested that biking corridors will help people ride a bike to their workplace. Sunday mornings could be reserved for certain patches. Timings could be 6 to 9 or 7 to 10 in the morning. This plan is set to come into action from 27th March.
