🚨 TRAFFIC & PARKING ADVISORY — MELLI BAZAR
PARK FIRST • DRIVE SLOW • KEEP THE CARRIAGEWAY CLEAR
With the widening and improvement of Melli Bazar, ample and sufficient designated parking facilities are now available for the convenience of the public. Parking spaces have been provided in an organised manner, including horizontal and vertical parking arrangements, for private vehicles, taxis, jeeps, two-wheelers and other vehicles.
It has, however, been observed that some motorists continue to stop or park their vehicles on the carriageway, outside the designated parking areas and in double/second rows, despite sufficient parking space being available.
🅿️ PARK YOUR VEHICLE FIRST — THEN GO SHOPPING
All vehicle owners and drivers are requested to make proper use of the designated parking facilities.
Even if you intend to stop for only a few minutes, park your vehicle first and then proceed for shopping, banking, loading/unloading or any other work.
A vehicle left on the carriageway—even for a short period—can obstruct the free movement of traffic, create congestion and inconvenience other road users and emergency services.
There is therefore no justification for using the carriageway as a parking space when designated parking is available.
🚫 NO DOUBLE / UNAUTHORISED PARKING
Drivers are strictly advised:
* 🅿️ Park only within the designated/allotted parking area.
* ↔️ Follow the prescribed horizontal/vertical parking arrangement.
* 🚫 Do not create a second row or double parking.
* 🚫 Do not park in the middle of the road or on the carriageway.
* 🚫 Do not park outside the designated spaces, even for a short duration.
* 🚑 Always keep sufficient road space clear for emergency vehicles and uninterrupted traffic movement.
🚦 MAXIMUM SPEED LIMIT — 15 KM/H
All motorists are directed to slow down and strictly adhere to the prescribed maximum speed limit of 15 km/h in the Bazar area, as applicable under the notified speed-limit provisions.
The speed restriction is particularly important in Melli Bazar because of the high pedestrian interaction and regular movement of school-going children, elderly persons, shoppers and other pedestrians.
Drivers are therefore advised to exercise maximum caution, maintain a safe and controlled speed and give due consideration to pedestrians, particularly children and elderly persons.
👮 STRICT ENFORCEMENT
With adequate designated parking facilities now available in Melli Bazar, improper parking cannot be allowed to obstruct the carriageway.
Vehicles found double parked, parked outside designated parking areas, stopped/parked in a manner causing obstruction, or being driven in violation of the prescribed speed limit and other applicable traffic regulations will be dealt with strictly as per law, including challan and necessary enforcement action.
A SIMPLE REQUEST TO EVERY DRIVER
