Lahore: Chief Traffic Officer Montazer Mehdi has said that the City Traffic Police’s feasibility study has been completed and sent to the district government seeking approval on making the historic Mall Road signal free, a news source reported on July 15.
The plan’s development has begun in key departments of the Traffic Engineering & Planning Agency (TEPA) and the city district government. The related developments on the project will begin once the authorities grant approval. Implementation of the proposed plan will fix traffic-related issues on the road.
According to CTO Montazer Mehdi, four U-turns will be constructed on the Mall Road for the signal-free project, and all junctions intersecting the Mall Road will be sealed. Citizens will be allowed to cross Mall Road by making a U-turn. Traffic will also be directed along the service lane that runs from High Court Chowk to the Governor’s House.
It is worth noting that Mall Road in Lahore has historical and cultural value. Many of the structures in this area are from the Mughal and British eras. This road is unquestionably a testimony to history. Mall Road is home to the Museum, Lahore Zoo, Punjab Provincial Assembly, Qurban Lines (Police), and Aitchison College.
