Abstract
The management of urban traffic presents significant challenges that
require careful planning and execution. The sheer volume of traffic in urban areas
can lead to congestion, which causes delays and frustration for drivers,
passengers, and pedestrians. This can result in decreased productivity,
increased pollution, and reduced quality of life. Efficient management of road
traffic must have understanding of the issues and challenges of the road
traffic and must take strategic initiatives to address the issues. Geographical
condition itself is the major challenge of road traffic management in Himachal
Pradesh as construction of the roads is not only tough but breadth of the roads
can-not be expanded in terms of frequency requirement of traffic. Further,
urbanization in the hilly regions multiplies the challenges. Not only this,
unplanned urban development, bunched structure of official organizations and
clashing time scheduling are responsible factors for road traffic chaos.
Moreover, managerial decisions on road traffic flow consist of such aspects
which need to be examined and reviewed for improvements. All such issues can be
efficiently managed if strategic efficient managerial decisions are taken. This
research paper endeavors to understand the problems in the management of urban
road traffic based upon the responses taken from the urban stakeholders and
accordingly measures have been recommended.
