In a bid to ease traffic congestion and ensure smooth movement of emergency vehicles, the Mumbai Traffic Police has introduced temporary odd-even parking restrictions on seven key roads in the MIDC (Andheri East) area.

The order, issued by Pradeep Chavan, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Eastern Suburbs, Traffic), will come into effect from Thursday, May 28, and remain in force till Thursday, August 27.

According to the notification, heavy double-side parking on narrow roads in the MIDC Traffic Division has been causing severe traffic bottlenecks and obstructing emergency services.

Guru Gobind Singh Road (Shere Punjab Road to Tolani College)

Kondavita Road (Apna Dhaba to Pidilite Company)

Datta Jagdamba Mandir Road (Hanuman Mandir to Malpa Dongari Road)

Parking rules

On even dates of the month (as per Gregorian calendar), vehicles can park only on the northern side of the road.

On odd dates of the month, vehicles can park only on the southern side of the road.

Parking on the opposite side on any given day will be considered a violation.

The traffic police have appealed to motorists to strictly follow the new parking discipline to avoid inconvenience and challans. The measure is expected to significantly improve traffic flow in the busy MIDC industrial and commercial hub.

This is a temporary arrangement for three months, after which the situation will be reviewed, officials said.
