In order to prevent discomfort for commuters waiting at the signal, Ahmedabad Traffic Police begins to shut down traffic signals due to rising temperatures in the afternoon from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
25 necessary signals operate on a shorter timer while the remaining 252 are set to close at noon to accommodate traffic as well as tackle heat.
This action will be a relief for those who travel during the summer and must wait a long time at traffic signals because the city constantly experiences temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius.
