Around 10 green signboards have been installed in the immediate area outside Shivaji Park, marking a departure, for the first time in the history of Mumbai, from the usual red signage to which motorists are accustomed.
This initiative is likely a pilot project, aiming to clearly inform motorists where they are allowed to park their vehicles. A traffic police officer told mid-day, “These boards will eliminate confusion about where parking is permitted. Such boards have not been installed anywhere in Mumbai before.”
The officer added that parking at this designated area in Shivaji Park will be free. Motorists can park their vehicles at the marked spots without paying any fees.
Additionally, the boards will provide detailed information about when parking is allowed and the hours during which parking is restricted or regulated.
The Dadar Traffic Division is set to inaugurate these green parking boards Saturday at 5 pm, and the police and Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation will remove the red no-parking boards from this spot.
Asked what exactly is written on the boards, officials were unwilling to divulge details ahead of the inauguration, but said the boards would mention that parking is allowed at certain times and if motorists don’t abide by these timings, fines will be imposed.
