Delhi's elevated corridors may worsen traffic congestion

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Delhi's new elevated corridors may not solve traffic congestion, as experts warn they often shift problems and encourage more private vehicle use. Experts suggest flyovers offer only temporary relief, leading to increased car numbers and returning congestion. They advocate for prioritizing public transport and non-motorized options over road expansion. Past examples like Seoul's Cheonggyecheon highway and Bristol's city centre flyover removal show that demolishing elevated roads can improve traffic flow and urban mobility.
