No room for traffic or new roads in Delhi

Firstpost: "The panel noted that 21 percent of the city's area was already under roads with limited scope for road network expansion, the release said.
As 60 percent of passenger trips are below 4 km distances and 80 percent below 6 km length which are ideal for non-motorised transport, the committee strongly recommended development of necessary infrastructure for promoting walking and cycling in the national capital.
The committee also opined that automobile centric planning with focus on road widening, construction of more flyovers, foot over bridges and under passes have only promoted increased use of private vehicles which are meeting only less than 20 per cent of transport needs and should not be encouraged unless warranted by natural barriers like rivers."
