Population and Vehicle Growth

. Population GrowthF Pop"ation gro$th in Mmbai in the "ast fe$ decades

has affected in the $estern and eastern sbrbs. *he $estern sbrbs are no$

home to o6er % mi""ion peop"e and the eastern sbrbs hose o6er 2 mi""ion.

Pop"ation gro$th is epected to go p to !2 mi""ion by ;! in the Mmbai

Metropo"itan Region 9MMR:. 7ts repercssions $i"" be more prononced in #reater

Mmbai as the concentration of emp"oyment and acti6ities in this area $i"" contine

to be the nc"es. Pop"ation gro$th impacts open spaces that ear"ier offered

space for 6ehic"es to park. Becase of gro$th in pop"ation@ pedestrian acti6ity has

risen dramatica""y impacting the sage of footpaths and cross$a"ks. 5ootpaths ha6e

been encroached by peop"e@ 6endors and ha$kers and in many p"aces peop"e are

"i6ing on footpaths. e to this in many p"aces pedestrians are forced to $a"k and

se traffic "anes partia""y or f""y. As the traffic "ane space gets redced the carriage

capacity for 6ehic"e mo6ement is a"so redced and this combined $ith other

acti6ities a"ong the carriage$ay increases congestion. *ab"e smmari)es the

gro$th in #reater Mmbai $ith respect to road net$ork@ pop"ation and 6ehic"es.

!unctions and Manpower

12. !unctions- There are about 1,238 main traffic junctions in the city. 646 of these

junctions are signalised (Source: MCGM).The process of signalising more junctions

is on-going. About 253 signals are under Area Traffic Control system, a project

initiated through World Bank funding. This has resulted in some reduction in delay

and increase in speed and to some extent has induced changes in driver behaviour for

smooth movement of traffic. However with increasing vehicles on the roads, junctions

have become bottlenecks for traffic movement. Most of the junctions in the island city


10/51

8

operate at v/c> 1.0, a situation of severe congestion and grid lock and are manageable

because of manual intervention by traffic police. At some of the junctions at least two

to five traffic policemen are needed to direct and move the traffic. There is a severe

shortage of manpower. Existing manpower is overburdened to handle traffic at critical

junctions in addition to addressing several other traffic related issues. High speeds,

needless stops and delays, and the conflict of drivers who enter a junction over those

who are trying to exit has created problem. The situation is even worse at junctions

under the flyovers. There is a need for good geometric designs to guide the vehicles

and pedestrians crossing junctions. Sometimes vehicles parked close to junctions

further impact the flow of traffic. Table 2 below summarizes the staff to junction ratio

for Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata. It can be seen that Mumbai has severe shortage of

manpower to be able to manage the junctions and regulate traffic flow.

Mmbai is one of the biggest concerns and has ad6erse"y impacted traffic conditions

to a great etent. 7nabi"ity to remo6e encroachments from roads and streets is

nightmare@ gi6en the hea6y 6ehic"ar traffic and congested roads. 7t is a simp"e fact

that encroachments and free=f"o$ of traffic cannot go together. -ncroachment of

garages@ footpaths by ha$kers and commercia" estab"ishments has impacted

pedestrians by forcing them to se the carriage$ay meant for 6ehic"es and ths

increasing congestion.
