The Court on Wednesday noted that the construction of service roads beside the SG highway is important as it did not lie on the outskirts of a city (as is usually the case with national highways) but connected two cities (Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar).
To ease traffic congestion woes near the highway, the Court suggested that signboards could be put up to identify areas where traffic may be heavy at specific timeslots.
The Court added that there should be a holistic approach to studying such issues concerning road safety.
While constructing roads, highways and flyovers, such safety and convenience issues must be taken care of, particularly at entry and exit points, Chief Justice Agarwal explained.
“And if you are diverting traffic from one place to another … whether it is creating any problems – that aspect is also to be seen,” Chief Justice Agarwal further observed.
