GURUGRAM: Pedestrian crossings at 17 city junctions and a proposal to include 32 locations came under review at the district road safety committee meeting on Friday, October 30, 2026. Deputy Commissioner Uttam Singh chaired the meeting at the Mini Secretariat, where officials also discussed safer school approaches and improvements at Basai village chowk in Sector 9, Siddheshwar Chowk and Atul Kataria Chowk.
Two local reports published on Friday give matching accounts of the review. They say the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority presented information on crossing works at 17 junctions, while locations suggested by road safety teams, including sites outside hospitals, were proposed for inclusion. The accounts describe work and proposals under review, rather than confirming that all crossings have opened.
Crossings, school approaches and lighting
The proposal concerning 32 locations matters for people who need to cross roads near hospitals and other busy destinations. The reports do not provide a complete site list or a junction-by-junction completion schedule. Residents should therefore treat the figure as the scope discussed at the meeting, rather than as a list of new facilities already available for use.
School approaches were another part of the infrastructure review. A list of 398 schools has been shared with the agencies responsible for building and maintaining roads so they can plan measures for safer school zones. The meeting also considered school transport safety requirements, including emergency exits, first aid kits and the inspection of buses.
These are two different parts of the exercise: road agencies are being asked to improve the areas around schools, while school transport checks concern the vehicles carrying pupils. The sharing of the school list does not establish that works at all 398 locations have been sanctioned or completed.
- Crossing works discussed: 17 junctions.
- Locations proposed for inclusion: 32.
- Schools whose list was shared with road agencies: 398.
- Meeting date: October 30, 2026.
Where other civic works were reviewed
The committee examined 21 identified accident black spots on routes including NH 48 and the Gurugram to Sohna highway. Separately, the discussion identified Siddheshwar Chowk, Basai village chowk and Atul Kataria Chowk as accident-prone urban locations requiring attention. The accounts do not establish that these three junctions are additional entries in the same 21-site list.
Officials were asked to address signs, road markings, reflective road studs and safer entry and exit arrangements. Under the district's road fatality reduction initiative, site reports also covered Jharsa Chowk, Atlas Chowk, IFFCO Chowk, Sector 33, Khoh Manesar, Pachgaon Chowk, Shastri Nagar in Sector 105 and Gopalpur in Sector 10.
The measures discussed for those locations included lighting, speed management, pedestrian routes and protection along road edges. The meeting also reviewed railings and signs on Gurugram to Sohna Road, pedestrian access at Manesar bus stand and Bilaspur Chowk, streetlights on Gurugram to Faridabad Road, and repairs around Atul Kataria Chowk and Pataudi Road.
Singh directed that road signs serve their designated purpose and remain free of unauthorised advertising. That instruction sits alongside the repair programme because signs must remain visible to people using a junction. The reports say action under the applicable rules was sought where advertising is displayed on them.
What residents can check next
The next useful updates will be the final list of crossing locations, the agency responsible for each site and the dates on which facilities become usable. Friday's accounts do not state a single budget for the full set of works. They say agencies were told to meet their prescribed timelines and maintain safety facilities, without publishing those individual deadlines.
The district administration's official website identifies the responsible administration and its leadership. The meeting details above are confirmed from the two dated local reports; the home page is not a copy of the meeting minutes.
For related local background, read the earlier coverage of footpath and sector road tenders, the street lighting plan for 19 roads and repairs sought at fog risk locations. Those are separate developments and should not be read as a completion report for Friday's crossing proposals.
