Petlawad (Naiduniya News). The traffic pressure in the city is increasing day by day. Vehicular movement is becoming haphazard at major intersections. Due to paucity of traffic police personnel, it is not possible to deploy jawans at every intersection, in such a situation, the need of traffic police stations with traffic signs is being felt to check the arbitrariness of the drivers.
It is worth mentioning that in Petlavad Nagar with a population of about 20 thousand, two-three thousand two and four wheelers come to the city every day from the city and surrounding rural areas. There are five major crossroads in the city. There is a lot of vehicular traffic on them. There is heavy traffic of vehicles at Ganesh Chowk, Old Bus Stand, New Bus Stand and Gandhi Chowk.

These days, the old hospital square, Gandhi Chowk and the old bus stand located between the Raipuria-Petlawad road of the city have come to be known as accident crossroads. Every day one or two accidents happen here. Sometimes because of the wrong side, sometimes due to high speed, sometimes due to lack of proper knowledge of the rules, bike riders often collide here.
the most pressure here
Ganesh Chowk which is now known as Tribute Square. Thousands of vehicles pass daily due to the Thandla-Badnavar state road passing through the city. Due to which there is sure to be a traffic jam here, because this intersection has the highest pressure of traffic. The condition is that there are long queues of vehicles here every 10 minutes throughout the day. Due to which the situation of jam is created.

Due to the lack of traffic staff with the police, there is no deployment of police personnel at every intersection from morning to evening, because there is no traffic personnel here. The reason for this is that in the Petlavad accident on September 12 last year, the administration had replaced the entire police staff. Due to which no traffic jawan has been appointed till today. Due to this, accidents happen at these intersections every day. However the new bus stand which is on the highway. The police have tried to change the face of the crossroads. For traffic in the right direction, the encroachers have definitely been removed here. Still, the drivers are not deterred by their will, who enters with the vehicle wherever they find the place.
