Relief Road is in the heart of old city of Ahmedabad since the road is situated in Central Business District of the city. It is likely to have more inflow of traffic. Relief Road connects KALUPUR RAILWAY STATION with BHADRA approach, so peak hour traffic congestion is normal. The walled city is the worst traffic-hit area due to narrow roads and congested lanes. On Relief Road, the main issue is on-the-road parking. Lack of traffic signals, traffic personnel and traffic inflow which gives more problems than the narrower roads can offer. The adjacent area of Relief Road consist of traditional “POL Houses”. In Ancient time Relief Road was the only destination for shopping and business work, hence more population settled along this road. This paper throws light on current problems as well as possible solution for better connectivity using some reliable transit system.
