GURUGRAM, Feb. 28 -- The redesigning of Rajiv Chowk aimed at making the intersection safer for pedestrians was suspended on Thursday morning, 12 hours after it was initiated by Haryana Vision Zero (HVZ). Traffic police officials said that the trial led to congestion, forcing them to remove the cones installed by HVZ for segregating traffic and pedestrian movement at this junction. However, the trial may resume on the weekend, officials familiar with the matter said. The trial, which started at 11.30pm on Wednesday, was stopped at 11.30am on Thursday. Azad Singh of traffic police station-1, said, "The trial was stopped because there was congestion at Rajiv Chowk." On Wednesday night, HVZ had installed barricades, traffic cones, jersey barriers and used paint to demarcate space to make the intersection safer for pedestrian movement. Ishan Gogoi, HVZ road safety associate, said, "After taking observations from Thursday in notice, the adjustments in the trial will be done accordingly in the next few days." The redesigning of this junction was done by HVZ in association with the World Resources Institute (WRI), a research organisation. Priyanka Sulkhlan, manager, architect urban designer, WRI, said, "The DCP (traffic) called a meeting on Thursday after the trial was stopped, and told us to analyse traffic movement from Subhash Chowk to Rajiv Chowk and see how the traffic can be diverted towards Medanta road, to utilise U-turn underpass towards Delhi. We will carry out the trials this weekend." The need for redesigning the junction was felt as only a few pedestrians use the foot over bridges at Rajiv Chowk....
