The traffic police department of Mumbai may soon launch the ‘odd-even parking system’ on a pilot basis in Kalbadevi market area in south Mumbai, aimed at solving parking problems and road congestion. Implemented in world cities such as New York, under the odd-even parking system the vehicle has to be parked on either side of the road depending on whether it is an odd-numbered or an even-numbered day of the month.

The Noida Authority launched a multilevel car-parking (MLCP) facility in January to resolve the parking problems of the Sector 18 market. However, a hike in parking fee and issues such as flawed footpath design and lack of road infrastructure have played the spoilsport for the facility. So far, there are no as many takers for the parking space as the Noida Authority had expected.

Delhi metro is all set to increase parking charges after five years. The hike is almost 50 per cent across categories. The new charges will be applicable from May 1. The parking fee hike has come months after 100 per cent fare hike which resulted in loss of 3 lakh passengers every day.

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 Noida Authority plans to invest Rs 1,500 crore in 19 different developmental projects in the city. Besides, efforts are being undertaken to ensure energy and water consumption in Noida. Meanwhile, Noida’s residential welfare authorities have been protesting against the inefficacy of workers hired by the Authority who are on regular strikes resulting in poor civic conditions in the Authority’s jurisdiction.
