India, April 9 -- In a step towards reducing accidents and traffic jams in Bhubaneswar, the Twin City Commissionerate Police on Tuesday launched a trial run of lane driving on the busy Jayadev Vihar-Nalco Chhak road.
The trial began near the Jayadev Vihar flyover, where a 150-metre stretch was divided into three separate lanes using temporary cone-shaped barriers. Vehicles were allowed to drive in any lane during the initial phase, but soon, dedicated lanes will be assigned for different categories of vehicles-two-wheelers, cars, and heavy vehicles.
