DELHI: TRAFFIC ADVISORY 2 FEB 2012
Nizamuddin Bridge coming from Trans Yamuna areas on National Hightway 24 will be under repairs from 3 Feb 2012 for about 1 month.
2 Lanes at a time will be under repairs resulting into less space being available for traffic to move. Delhi Traffic Police will make extensive arrangements to minimize inconvenience to people by making 4 lanes for movement from trans-Yamuna area to main delhi side in morning nd 4 lanes fro ging back to trans-Yamuna in the evening.
As consequence traffic congestion is expected at Nizamuddin Bridge and areas on both sides of the bridge namely Ring Road, Noida Link Road and NH-24.
Traffic Patterns
Normal traffic pattern for Indian Cities.Under normal conditions not effected by traffic 'incidents' or negative weather the daily traffic will build in a predictable pattern, from light, building and heavy as 'peak hour' is reached. The 'normal' speed of travel and congestion in any city being based on volume/density of vehicles in conjunction with road infrastructure capacity.
Very often the 'traffic police' are blamed for the bad or poor traffic conditions during peak hours. Traffic Police have very little control over peak hour congestion because;
- Traffic Police do not control the number of vehicle using the roads, and
- Traffic Police do not design the road infrastructure.

What is Traffic Congestion
A condition on road networks that occurs as use increases, and is characterized by slower speeds, longer trip times, and increased vehicular queueing. The most common example is the physical use of roads by vehicles. When traffic demand is great enough that the interaction between vehicles slows the speed of the traffic stream, this results in some congestion. As demand approaches the capacity of a road (or of the intersections along the road), extreme traffic congestion sets in. When vehicles are fully stopped for periods of time, this is colloquially known as a traffic jam or traffic snarl.
