METRO STATION AREA MANAGEMENT & DISPERSAL

OBJECTIVES

Efficient and safe traffic dispersal in metro station areas

Efficient management of road space below metro stations

Efficient and safe movement of pedestrians at metro stations

To achieve integration amongst various modes at metro stations

To ensure uniform 2+2 lanes for traffic – Widening of Footpaths

Efficient traffic and commuters dispersal

Integration with Other Transport Modes

Parking Provision near Metro Station areas.

Station Influence Zone for restricting on-street parking, hawking &

providing encroachment free footpaths.

Footpath Railings.

FOCUS AREAS

METRO STATION AREA MANAGEMENT & DISPERSAL

Multi-utility zone (MUZ) design principle

Consistent width and continuous length for footpath and carriageway

MUZ, wherever available, to be utilised for provision of bus-stops, parking/waiting area, auto-rickshaw stand, utility boxes, etc

GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR METRO STATION AREA MANAGEMENT & DISPERSAL

Main Arterial- Restrictions of “ No parking and No hawking” to be

enforced below the station and also for a stretch of 100 m on both sides

from edge of the station;

Connector Roads– 200m stretch on both sides of the metro alignment

shall be kept free for operations of feeder bus routes, IPT (auto/taxi

pickup/drop off ) & cycle/ two wheeler parking;

Encroachment on foot paths under Metro Station Influence zone to be

removed.

No Parking, No Hawking & No Encroachment on Footpath:

Bus Stops to be located within 50m distance from entry/ exit points

of metro station;

Relocation of bus stops wherever required to optimize walking

distance;

Maintain sufficient gap between bus stop and auto/taxi

stands/pickup/drop-off places to avoid conflict of movement.

BUS ROUTE INTEGRATION:

GUIDING PRINCIPLES…..

Vehicular Movement:

Widening of Footpaths below metro stations

Uniform 2+2 lanes for smooth flow of traffic (for stations on JP

Road & Andheri (East) ,MV rd)

Uniform 3+3 lanes for smooth flow of traffic at other stations.

Pedestrian Movement:

Encroachment Free Footpaths along Main and Connector Roads.

Streamlining of existing utilities / facilities where ever required.

TRAFFIC DISPERSAL (VEHICLE & PEDESTRIANS):

GUIDING PRINCIPLES…..

TRAFFIC SIGNALS:

Traffic Signal timings to be synchronized after the Metro

implementation.

IPT OPERATIONS: Auto Rickshaw & Taxi

Auto/Taxi Pick up and Drop off Operations mainly on Connector

Roads.
