A draft policy on road safety that has been placed in the public domain by the Delhi government's Transport Department identifies encroachments as one of the reasons behind road accidents and calls for recognition of rights of pedestrians. Here we examine the key points that have found a mention in the draft.

The Bharatmala project, which is touted as the biggest infrastructure project in the history of India, is expected to impact businesses of as many as 25 toll projects across the country. According to a report by rating agency Icra, these toll road projects, with a debt of Rs 19,435 crore, are at risk due to the planned economic corridors under the Bharatmala project.

Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has announced that work on the Delhi-Mumbai Express Highway would start soon. The Delhi-Mumbai Expressway is a greenfield access-controlled highway developed at a cost of Rs 1 lakh crore and will take three years for completion. Aimed at reducing the travel time between the two cities from 20 hours to 12 hours, the project will also have a new alignment covering several backward areas of the country and lead to industrial growth.

Barapullah Road Phase II and III will make the commute easier between east and south Delhi. The stretch when operational would start at Mayur Vihar Metro station and would end at Aurobindo Marg and INA Market. The total commute time from east Delhi to airport will come down to 40 minutes. The corridor would also connect NH-24 and NH-8, providing a signal-free ride to the commuters plying towards south Delhi.

The national capital will try its hand at a major experiment to overcome ever-increasing road traffic. Delhi LG Anil Baijal has proposed three measures that would be implemented soon along the congested stretches for controlling vehicle population in the city.
