Centre asks states to notify measures to curb congestion on highways
The Union government has directed states to implement measures aimed at reducing congestion on highways, including the establishment of no-development buffers around new bypasses and ring roads. This initiative is part of a broader urban decongestion policy that seeks to address the issues caused by unplanned development along major roads. The framework encourages state participation in funding through various cost-sharing models and aims to maintain efficient traffic flow on national highways.
- ▪The Centre has asked states to create 15-metre no-development buffers along future ring roads and bypasses.
- ▪All future urban decongestion projects will be developed as fully access-controlled corridors to maintain highway speeds.
- ▪The policy outlines multiple funding models for state participation, including land acquisition cost sharing and value-capture financing.
