CONCLUSIONS

Vehicles using fuel station at the cut are causing rudimentary arrangement in traffic and congestion.

Vehicles from service lane of Shahra-e-faisal are availing this U-turn to enter arterial (main shahra-e-faisal road).

Vehicles coming from Baloch Colony Flyover are availing this U-turn instead of Tipu Sultan road.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Extend the barrier of Baloch Colony flyover 200m straight ahead of the U-turn on the main road.• This will shift the traffic going to fuel

station.• Decrease conflicting points.

Barrier extension
