The Malkajgiri municipal authority announced plans to modernise traffic lights at key intersections to improve flow and safety.
The Malkajgiri civic administration has unveiled a project to replace existing traffic signals with modern, programmable units at several high‑traffic junctions across the suburb. The upgrade aims to reduce congestion during peak hours and enhance road safety for commuters and pedestrians.
According to officials, the new signal systems will feature adaptive timing, allowing real‑time adjustments based on traffic density. Installation work is slated to begin within the next few weeks, with minimal disruption expected as crews operate during off‑peak periods.
The initiative forms part of a broader effort by the Telangana municipal bodies to modernise urban infrastructure and align with smart‑city objectives. Residents have been advised to stay alert to temporary changes in traffic patterns during the rollout.
The municipal council will monitor the performance of the upgraded signals and consider further expansions if the pilot proves successful.
