mid-day test drive
Mumbai’s flyovers, built to ease traffic at junctions and signals, are increasingly clogged during peak hours due to the movement of heavy vehicles. Mid-day recently conducted a test drive on both corridors to reveal that the extensive use of flyovers by outstation buses and goods carriers is causing congestion. City-based transport experts believe that easing congestion on arterial routes requires barring heavy vehicles from flyovers. According to the traffic police, the movement of heavy vehicles is restricted from 8 am to 11 am and 5 pm to 9 pm.
