New Delhi:
The exclusive lanes for Commonwealth Games will become operational from September 20 and violators will face a fine of Rs 2,000 and their vehicles will be impounded.
A notification to this effect has been issued by the Lieutenant Governor's office. But to give road users sufficient exposure of the traffic movement during and before the October 3-14 Games, trials have been planned for three days from today.
People have been advised to avoid the exclusive Games lane during the trials and familiarise themselves regarding the pattern of traffic movement during the Games. There will be enough signages regarding commencement of stretches on which the Games lanes are rehearsed.
There will be sufficient traffic personnel deployment on the stretches being used for trial of exclusive Games lanes, the official said.
Initially, the restrictions on Games lanes will be operational during night time only as international flights carrying athletes are scheduled during those hours.
Though the route from Games Village to competition venues and airport has a dedicated lane, there will be no such facility for practice venues.
There will be no special lanes for roads leading to practice venues but motorcycle patrols will lead the convoys of athletes. The lane may be thrown open for public when no Games vehicle is scheduled to use it, the official said.
People are advised to avoid as far as possible CWG lanes in general and Safdarjung Road, Kemal Ataturk Marg, Panchsheel Marg, Sardar Patel Marg, Siri Fort Road, Harsukh Marg, Purana Quila Road and Mother Teresa Crescent Road in particular as these roads are having two lanes in one carriage way and one lane is already reserved for Games related traffic, the official said.
On Wednesday, from 12 noon for two hours, trials will be held from Commonwealth Games Village -NH24-upto Yamuna Sports Complex, Lodhi Road Madrasa -Lodhi Road flyover, Bhishm Pitamah Marg from T-point Lodhi Road- August Kranti Marg- Sirifort Sports Complex and Ring Road from T-point Bhairon Road upto Rajghat and Ring Road from Chandgi Ram Akhara to Mal Road.
On Thursday, trials will be held on Nizamuddin Bridge - Ring Road- Captain Gaur Marg upto Kalkaji Mandir and Sardar Patel Marg -Mother Teressa Crescent Road.
