Circular One Way From Clock Tower to Clock Tower Has Been Finally Made Official

The circular one-way rule from Clock Tower to Clock Tower which was enforced on a trial basis by Mangalore City Traffic Police since over a month was on Thursday regularised with the Police Commissioner issuing a formal notification. Police Commissioner N. Shashi Kumar, who, as Additional District Magistrate, issued the orders, said that the Mangalore City Corporation Commissioner had written to him on September 16 seeking declaration of the Maidan Road from Clock Tower to Clock Tower via A.B. Shetty Circle, Hamilton Circle and Rao and Rao Circle as one-way. The one-way traffic rule will help the smooth flow of vehicular traffic in the central business district (CBD). As many roads converge into Maidan Road at different places, one-way traffic will help smooth integration of traffic. Also, as there was not enough space for parking vehicles in the CBD, creation of one-way traffic will provide space for parking vehicles. Since vehicles will operate in one direction without any obstacles, chances of accidents too will be reduced. Based on the above report, the Police Commissioner declared that the 550-metre Maidan Road between Clock Tower and A.B. Shetty Circle, 250 metres of Maidan Road between A.B. Shetty Circle and Hamilton Circle, 250 metres of Maidan Road from Hamilton Circle to Rao and Rao Circle and 450 metres of Maidan Road from Rao and Rao Circle to Clock Tower as one-way.
