Rawalpindi: The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has decided to convert several roads in a bid to accommodate one-way traffic, a news source reported.
An RDA official said that the civic agency would conduct a survey of major roads in Rawalpindi. Additionally, it would work on a strategy to declare these roads as suitable for one-way traffic.
Previously, the civic agency built U-turns on Murree Road to avoid traffic congestion. The traffic engineering wing of the RDA would survey roads and then recommend the construction of U-turns from Liaquat Bagh to Naz Cinema.
RDA Chairman Arif Abbasi said that the development authority would make utmost efforts to improve traffic flow on main roads. A plan to this effect would be presented before the governing body soon.
Moreover, the civic agency planned to make main roads in Raja Bazaar one-way. Another proposal was recently floated to make some roads accessible to pedestrians only, especially around Moti Bazaar.
