The Mumbai Police on Thursday announced temporary traffic and parking arrangements on Khan Abdul Gafar Khan Road in Worli and shared complete list of traffic rules in the area.
According to a traffic notification, the decision was taken following a significant reduction in traffic after the opening of the Dharmaveer Swarajyarakshak Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj Coastal Road (Mumbai Coastal Road).
It said that the road stretch from J. K. Kapoor Circle to Bindu Madhav Junction is considered wide enough to allow limited parking without affecting traffic movement.
Residents living along the road and people visiting the Mumbai Coastal Road promenade for jogging and walking had requested permission for parking.
After reviewing the situation, traffic authorities agreed that single-lane parking for private cars and two-wheelers would not disrupt the smooth flow of vehicles.
An earlier traffic notification for this road has been temporarily stayed, officials said.
Instead, a new temporary 'No Parking' order has been issued to ensure safety and convenience for pedestrians and motorists. Parking will be strictly prohibited at sensitive locations such as school gates, bus stops, zebra crossings and building entrances.
The order has been issued by Dr Dipali Dhate, Deputy Commissioner of Police (HQ & Central), Traffic Mumbai, under provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.
The temporary traffic arrangement will remain in force from 12.01 am on 26 December 2025 until 25 March 2026, round the clock.
Parking will not be allowed at the following places:
Near Green Lawns School gate - from 7.00 am to 12.00 pm
National Association for the Blind (India), from Electric Pole No. 2 to 21 - 24 hours
Near Worli Sea Face BMC School gate, from Electric Pole No. 19 to 17 - 12.00 pm to 1.00 pm
In front of all residential building gates - 24 hours
At all zebra crossings - 24 hours
From Coastal Road north-bound exit to J. K. Kapoor Circle - 24 hours
From Bindu Madhav Junction to BEST bus stop (north-bound) - 24 hours
The Mumbai Traffic Police have appealed to motorists to strictly follow the new parking rules to avoid inconvenience, obstruction and penalties.
Officials said the arrangements are temporary and may be reviewed based on traffic conditions and public response.
