The 15-day U-turn diversion trial at Kamta Tiraha in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, began on Saturday, aiming to alleviate traffic congestion at a complex junction where vehicles come from six directions. On the first working day of the trial, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Raveena Tyagi oversaw operations, ensuring smoother traffic flow during the morning rush. While the initiative showed positive results in the morning, evening traffic jams extended up to 3 km on Ayodhya Road, with vehicles crawling until 9 pm despite police interventions. The trial enforces designated U-turns and strict no-parking rules within 100 to 150 meters of the junction to create a zero-conflict zone. Daily assessments will be conducted to evaluate the trial's effectiveness and consider permanent infrastructure improvements if necessary.
