Instead of remaining red or green for a certain time duration like normal, regular traffic signals, this one would flash according to the condition of the traffic.
The signals would also support security and emergency vehicles. It has the ability to recognize fire trucks, ambulances, or other special vehicles, favoring open passage for such vehicles.
Chairman of the Capital Development Authority, Captain (retired) Muhammad Usman, has shown keen interest in the newly developed traffic signal and has also invited the student for a meeting.
Earlier, Islamabad Capital Territory Police (ICTP) traffic devision launched an operation to clampdown unlawful parking in the Blue Area.
The Police also Tweeted in this regard and urged people not to turn sidewalks into parking spots as they are meant to be for ‘pedestrians.’
Blue Area, being one of the major business centres of the twin cities, is often crowded and hence, parking is a huge problem there.

The public has also requested administration to create enough parking space to eradicate the issues.
