Mumbai, April 16: In a bid to ease traffic congestion and address safety concerns, the Mumbai Traffic Police have declared a “No Parking Zone” on a key stretch under the Goregaon Traffic Division.

No parking on M.G. Road stretch

The restriction applies to both sides of Mahatma Gandhi Road, from Ratna Hotel Junction (Swami Vivekanand Road) to Jai Taramati Co-operative Housing Society on Bangur Nagar M.G. Road Extension.

According to officials, a large number of vehicles were being parked along this stretch, leading to obstruction in the free flow of traffic. Authorities had also received complaints about vehicles being parked for long durations, raising concerns related to safety and law and order in the area.

To tackle these issues, parking of all types of vehicles has now been completely prohibited along the указан stretch, which has officially been designated as a “No Parking Zone.”

The notification has come into effect immediately and will remain in force until further orders. Motorists have been urged to cooperate with the Mumbai Traffic Police and adhere to the new regulations to ensure smooth traffic movement and public safety.

The order has been issued by Dr Priyanka Narnavare, IPS, Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic).

Traffic diversions in Vikhroli
