GHAZIABAD: It’s a habit as old as the old four-lane road, NH-24, ran through these parts. The four lanes have now become 14, with a six-lane expressway running within this behemoth, and new underpasses to cross over. But nothing has deterred the jaywalkers, not the highway’s wide span, not the climb over a concrete verge, not the fear of onrushing vehicles.
But the new iron barriers might just do the job. Designed to dissuade the most resolute of jaywalkers, highway managers appear confident it makes the challenge of crossing the highway on foot an insurmountable one. The barriers – grilles clamped to the concrete verge – are being installed at three points notorious for jaywalking: Noida Sector 62, Shani Mandir near Chijarsi and Vijay Nagar. The barriers are 5-feet high and will be placed on 3-feet-high concrete slabs.
