Good step. Commercial places will attract cars. Please check if these establishments have adequate provisions and should such properties come up where the abutting road is narrow?

That's meagre ₹ 241.47952 per violation on average. Increase the fine to ₹ 5000 per violation & do the challan just for a day, you won't see any illegal parked vehicle next day. #free_ka_advice pic.twitter.com/51FoEs7gVT

If traffic was your "real" concern, the traffic policemen wouldn't be standing like hapless spectators to rowdy and reckless driving and signal violators. Instead, they are very bold and prompt when it is about collecting fine for seat belts (even from senior citizens). #Priority

This is good but how to know which road is busy road? There is no board written clearly

Police have taken this commendable step ahead of the implementation of the Motor Vehicle Amendment Act 2019 from September 1, 2019, by the central government. Hence, the Commissionerate Police has pulled up their socks and introduced several measures to control the traffic in the twin cities.
