This article talks about new rules for auto e-rickshaws in Patna to manage traffic better.
Patna has introduced a new system for auto e-rickshaws to help reduce traffic jams. The District Magistrate (DM) has set strict rules to manage the number of vehicles on the roads. The city is now divided into three zones: Green, Yellow, and Blue, based on traffic conditions.
The DM’s plan includes a total of 26 routes with a combined capacity of 22,065 vehicles. However, to keep traffic flowing smoothly, only 80% of this capacity, which is around 18,181 vehicles, will be allowed. The new system will be put into action starting from July.
In the Green Zone, which includes crowded areas like markets and schools, strict limits will be placed on the number of vehicles. This zone covers important routes such as Patna Junction, Kankarbagh, and Ashok Rajpath. The goal is to avoid congestion in these busy areas.
The Yellow Zone will have routes with moderate traffic, while the Blue Zone will focus on the outskirts of the city and main entry and exit points. Key areas in the Yellow Zone include Boring Road and Raja Bazar, while the Blue Zone covers places like Gardanibagh and ISBT.
Overall, these changes aim to improve traffic management in Patna. The DM has consulted with auto associations to ensure that the new rules serve the public interest. The community can expect smoother travel as these regulations take effect.
