GUWAHATI: Traffic congestion on Guwahati's MC Road at Guwahati Club, continues to trouble commuters and local residents, particularly during school opening and dispersal hours, as vehicles parked on both sides of the road significantly reduce available road space.
According to local residents, the problem is most severe between 8:30 am and 9:00 am and again from around 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm, coinciding with school timings. They claim that the situation has persisted for years, causing regular inconvenience to those living and travelling through the area.
Speaking to GPlus, a local resident said that apart from private vehicles, school vans are often parked along both sides of the road, narrowing the carriageway and leading to traffic jams that frequently extend to the main road.
Officials from Latasil Police told GPlus that "No Parking" signs have already been installed on both sides of MC Road. However, they said many motorists ignore the restrictions despite repeated warnings.
The officials added that while careless parking remains a major concern, many vehicle owners also struggle to find alternative parking spaces in the area, further contributing to the recurring traffic problem.
