The new zones will be introduced between Gardens Galleria Mall Road and Film City, bird feeding point near Dalit Prerna Sthal, and Charkha Roundabout near Amity University, said traffic police.

"We have identified three key stretches in Noida where we will implement the lane changing zone concept. We will write to the Noida authority to place display boards at these intersections alerting drivers about the lane changing zones," said Lakhan Singh Yadav, deputy Commissioner of Police, traffic, Noida.

The first lane-changing zones will be at the bird feeding point (the turn from Rashtriya Dalit Prerna Sthal), which diverts Noida expressway traffic to the Film City flyover, Chilla and DND borders, the second near the Gardens Galleria Mall road, which diverts traffic from Botanical Garden and the Elevated Road to the Film City flyover and Noida Expressway; and the third at the Charkha roundabout near Amity University.
