Islamabad’s Srinagar Highway (Kashmir Highway) has been made signal-free, following a proposal by the Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) to the District Administration and the Capital Development Authority (CDA).
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Traffic, Rai Mazhar Iqbal’s suggestion in this regard was commended by CDA Chairman and Chief Commissioner of Islamabad, Amer Ali Ahmed, who ordered its immediate implementation.
Srinagar Highway, which links Islamabad and Rawalpindi with the Islamabad International Airport (IIA), has been turned signal-free with the provision of three protective U-turns to prevent bottlenecks. The modification will save about Rs. 7.5 billion of taxpayers’ money that would otherwise have been spent on building interchanges, flyovers, or four overhead bridges.
The three protective U-turns are the G-9/G-10 Protective U-turn, the Police Lines Protective U-turn, and the G-12 Protective U-turn. The plan by SSP Iqbal was approved and executed within 15 days.
Over 115,000 vehicles will leave and enter Islamabad via the signal-free route that will also be used by all foreign delegates. All foreign guests and dignitaries will utilize the road to reach Islamabad International Airport (IIA), and the Chairman CDA highlighted that it will improve Pakistan’s image internationally.
