What is traffic signal synchronization:

This engineering technique will help in a better flow of traffic and enable the maximum number of vehicles to pass through by reducing stops and motorist will experience fewer delays while driving. This technique matches the green light times for series of interactions and then maximum numbers of vehicles can pass at the same time. This system also helps to minimize the gas consumption and pollutant emissions.

How it will work in Mohali:

• The synchronization system sensors will help to check the volume of traffic at any given time and these lights will help to maintain traffic. If there is less traffic on one side, the timing of green light will be less. These sensors will be laid after every 1.5 kilometers.
• When all lights get synchronized, a vehicle moving at an average speed of 60 kilometers per hour will find all green lights in number, from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Mohali, Sector 81, till the Industrial Area, Phase 7, on the stretch.
• This system is the first-of-its-kind initiative taken by Punjab government to control the accident related fatalities in the area that are very much prone to the accident.

The cost of this project:

This initiative is taken by the Punjab government to save commuters time in Mohali. The total amount that is going to spend in this project is 1.34 crore and this project got approval from administration last week only. Execution of this project will be started within next 6 months.

1. Chandigarh is clean

No other city in the country is as clean as Chandigarh. The roads are immaculate and so tidy. And don’t forget the look the city dons after a spell of rain. Everything is crystal clear as if someone has cleaned your dust rimmed glasses. Everything bears a beautiful look created by the Almighty himself.

2. Carefully planned

Chandigarh is the first planned city of the country. The dream project of Late Prime Minister Nehru, it has a charm of its own. Certainly, it is a joy to be here. Every sector and road are so carefully planned that you can never get lost in this city. Why? Because every road is parallel to the adjacent road. So even if you are directionally challenged, this city is always on your side.

3. Negligible pollution and traffic

THIS is perhaps the best part about living in Chandigarh. It does not have a lot of traffic and hence, pollution. Compare it with a city like Delhi and it is almost equivalent to living abroad. We are perhaps the healthiest in the country when it comes to our respiratory systems. All this while our transportation system isn’t very effective. Come to the metro project, our roads will be as empty as an F1 racing track!

4. World class education

Chandigarh has some of the best educational institutions in the country. Right from primary schools to a world class University, everything is here. And there are options aplenty! There are schools for CBSE, ICSE, state boards and even international curriculum like IB now! Then there is Panjab University- the premier University of the country. Need I say more?

5. Food!

Every foodie’s delight, Chandigarh is a haven for food. From international food chains to world class dhabas, there is something to tingle your every taste bud. Perhaps this is because of the amalgamation of various cultures here. The proximity to the states of Panjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh and various migrants from different parts of the country, there is something for everyone.
