Vijayawada: Traffic police are imposing fines on all drivers, who are driving vehicles more than 40 kmph on Bandar Road to avoid road accidents, and police department is successfully controlling the road accidents with the support of road safety vehicles at 150 black spots in the city.

Denizens are facing traffic problems mainly at NTR Circle, Chittinagar, Ramavarapadu Ring Road, One Town and other areas due to lack of awareness over traffic rules and a few business people occupied road space for doing business with the support of local political leaders, finally it led to traffic jams and road accidents at One Town and other areas.
Traffic-3 ACP D Sravan Kumar said that police department would conduct counselling on traffic to the school bus drivers for preventing road accidents. “Police and transport department officials would conduct a special drive on private school buses to cancel unfit vehicles. It would appoint more traffic police personnel at school zones mainly in the morning and evening to prevent traffic jams,” he added.
He said that police department is also planning for shifting roadside vendors to a particular zone to prevent traffic jams with the help of Vijayawada Municipal Corporation Commissioner J Nivas.
