Noida residents can expect a smoother traffic experience soon as Noida Police have formulated an extensive traffic diversion plan to reduce congestion and gridlocks across key routes in Noida and Greater Noida. The newly identified 22 emergency diversion points will be activated to maintain traffic flow, ensuring fewer jams and quicker commuting times.

Why the Diversion Plan Was Needed: Tackling Increasing Traffic Woes

With the rapid growth of commercial and residential sectors in Noida and Greater Noida, the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and surrounding areas have witnessed a surge in vehicular traffic. Frequent gridlocks during peak hours and congestion caused by VIP movements have led to longer commute times, prompting the police to devise a comprehensive diversion plan to ease the burden on major routes.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Lakhan Singh Yadav confirmed that the emergency diversion plan was designed to prevent long traffic snarls and provide alternative routes in case of congestion. “We have identified 22 diversion points that will be activated whenever traffic personnel observe signs of congestion,” said Yadav.

Key Highlights of the Diversion Plan

• 11 diversion points from Noida to Greater Noida along the Noida Expressway.
• 7 diversion points from Greater Noida to Noida, ensuring smoother reverse traffic.
• 2 major diversion points along the 130-metre road and Surajpur area in Greater Noida.

How Diversions Will Work: Activation During High Traffic Pressure

The SOS traffic diversions will be enforced whenever traffic personnel detect impending congestion or in gridlock situations. Additionally, these measures will be applied during VIP movements along key routes to prevent delays and ensure smooth vehicular flow.

Traffic Control Measures:

1. Film City Road to Sector 16: When congestion is observed on Film City Road, traffic will be diverted toward Sector 16 to prevent buildup near Noida Expressway.
2. Mahamaya Flyover to Sector 18: In case of congestion near Mahamaya Flyover, traffic will be diverted to Sector 18.
3. Noida Expressway Congestion Points: If traffic buildup is detected near critical points such as Mahamaya Flyover, Sector 96, and Advant Navis, the flow will be diverted toward Sector 37, Sector 44, and Sector 93 to reduce bottlenecks.

Noida to Greater Noida: Identified Diversion Points

According to Noida Police, 11 diversion points have been identified from Noida to the Greater Noida side along the Noida Expressway. These points will allow quick detours when traffic pressure increases, ensuring a steady flow of vehicles during peak hours.

Greater Noida to Noida: Emergency Routes

7 key diversion points have been planned for the Greater Noida to Noida route, ensuring that the reverse flow of traffic remains uninterrupted. These routes will provide alternative pathways for vehicles traveling toward Noida, preventing pile-ups on major arteries.

Additional Diversion Points: 130-Metre Road and Surajpur Area

Apart from the expressway routes, two diversion points have been identified near the 130-metre road and Surajpur area. These routes will play a crucial role in managing heavy traffic loads in Greater Noida, especially during peak traffic hours and VIP events.

Traffic Police Prepared for Quick Response

The diversion plan has been formulated with the active involvement of traffic police personnel who have been trained to identify congestion early and implement the diversion plan immediately. Traffic police officers stationed at key points will activate the diversion plan whenever they observe signs of heavy traffic buildup or gridlock.

Diversion Plan During VIP Movements

Apart from handling routine congestion, Noida Police have specifically planned for VIP movements, where traffic diversions will be enforced to ensure smooth passage along designated routes. By pre-planning these diversions, the police aim to minimize inconvenience for regular commuters while ensuring that VIP movements do not lead to extended traffic jams.

Key Traffic Diversion Points and Routes Identified

1. Film City Road Diversion: Traffic will be redirected to Sector 16 when congestion builds up toward Noida Expressway.
2. Mahamaya Flyover Diversion: Alternate routes to Sector 18 will be activated if congestion arises near the flyover.
3. Noida Expressway Diversion Points: Traffic will be diverted toward Sectors 37, 44, and 93 when gridlocks occur near Mahamaya Flyover, Sector 96, and Advant Navis.

Benefits of the Diversion Plan

• Reduced Traffic Jams: Diversions will prevent prolonged gridlocks by redirecting vehicles to alternative routes.
• Better Traffic Management: The plan ensures smoother vehicular flow even during peak hours or VIP movements.
• Enhanced Emergency Response: By identifying 22 diversion points, the police have ensured that emergency vehicles can bypass congested areas and reach their destinations faster.

Monitoring and Implementation: Using Technology for Traffic Management

The Noida Traffic Police will use a real-time traffic monitoring system to assess traffic density and activate diversions as needed. CCTV cameras installed across critical junctions will help identify congestion points, allowing traffic personnel to respond swiftly.

The SOS diversion plan will be regularly evaluated and updated based on traffic patterns and feedback to ensure its effectiveness.

Public Awareness and Information Sharing

To ensure smooth implementation of the diversion plan, Noida Police will launch a public awareness campaign to inform commuters about the new traffic routes and emergency diversions. Signage and digital boards will be placed along key routes to guide motorists toward alternative pathways.

Conclusion: A Step Toward Seamless Traffic Flow

The new diversion plan by Noida Police is expected to significantly reduce congestion on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, 130-metre road, and Surajpur area. By activating 22 emergency diversion points and closely monitoring traffic patterns, the police aim to ensure smoother vehicular movement while preventing prolonged gridlocks. These proactive measures will not only improve daily commutes but also enhance the overall traffic management system in Noida and Greater Noida, offering a safer and more efficient travel experience for all.
