Pimpri: To alleviate the frequent traffic congestion in Pimpri-Chinchwad, the local Traffic Department has taken decisive steps by identifying 143 strategic points across the city for focused traffic management.

These measures aim to ensure smoother traffic flow and reduce the frustration faced by commuters stuck in long queues of vehicles, especially during peak hours.

As Pimpri-Chinchwad is home to a large industrial area, IT parks such as Hinjewadi and Talwade, and pilgrimage destinations like Dehu and Alandi, the number of vehicles on the road is particularly high.
