Matchgoers to use specific routes: Gates 1-8 via Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg; Gates 10-15 from JLN Marg; Gates 16-18 from the petrol pump area.
Delhi Traffic Police issued restrictions, diversions and parking controls for the India-Afghanistan first T20 International at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, September 13.
The measures take effect at 2 p.m. around the stadium. Restrictions may be introduced on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, DDU Marg, Mirdard Chowk and JLN Marg, depending on traffic conditions, the police said in a public advisory. Goods vehicle movement is curtailed on stretches of Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, JLN Marg and DDU Marg.
Matchgoers were given specific routes: Gates 1-8 via Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg; Gates 10-15 from JLN Marg near the Ambedkar Stadium Bus Terminal; Gates 16-18 from Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg near the petrol pump. The police urged spectators to use designated entry points, parking areas and app-based taxi pick-up and drop-off points.
"Commuters are advised to plan their journeys in advance, avoid unnecessary travel through the match venue area, use alternate routes wherever feasible and follow the directions of traffic personnel," the advisory said. The police also asked motorists to follow diversion signs.
The warning comes as the BRICS Summit is already under way in New Delhi, adding to traffic pressure on the capital's roads. The first of the three-match T20 series between India and Afghanistan is the specific event the curbs target.
Delhi Traffic Police posted the information on its official social media handles and said real-time updates would be published there.
