Based on inputs from the district road safety committee, the city police along with CCMC, highways department, district administration and other department officials have been removing traffic signals across the city and have been replacing them with a U-turn system or a roundabout in order to reduce traffic congestion on roads.

Major roads earlier choked by traffic snarls due to waiting at traffic signals, heaved a sigh of relief after U-turns and roundabouts were implemented at vital junctions across the city. After initial hesitation to the changes, motorists have embraced the new system.
