Islamabad’s Traffic Signals Are Getting a Major Upgrade at 35 Locations

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) in Islamabad is undertaking a major upgrade of 35 traffic signal intersections and installing 18 modern pedestrian crossing systems across the city, with the entire project set to be completed by year-end. CDA Chairman Sohail Ashraf personally inspected the ongoing work at various locations and held discussions with officials to review progress.

The primary objectives of this initiative are to enhance traffic flow and ensure safer crossings for pedestrians by deploying advanced traffic signals and Pelican crossing systems. According to the CDA's latest progress report, 85 percent of the traffic signal installation at Daman-e-Koh Chowk, also known as Daman-e-Koh Chowk, has been successfully completed.

Likewise, civil works at Khayaban Roundabout (Khyber Chowk) and Aabpara Chowk have also reached the finishing line. Meanwhile, 50 percent of the civil works for installing Pelican crossing signals at Radio Pakistan Chowk, Faisal Chowk-III, and Pakistan Secretariat are underway. The remaining intersections and pedestrian crossing locations are currently under progress.

The CDA asserts that the introduction of modern traffic signals and pedestrian crossings will significantly improve traffic management, making road crossings safer and more convenient for citizens. CDA Chairman Sohail Ashraf emphasized the importance of completing the project within the current year while maintaining the highest standards of quality and transparency.

Ashraf emphasized that upgrading traffic signals would contribute to reducing road accidents and improving overall traffic flow in the federal capital. The announcement of this significant upgrade initiative was first reported by ProPakistani.
