Metropolitan Traffic Police Setups Corridor Management Team (CMT)

The Metropolitan Traffic Police has decided to deploy a separate traffic police team for the management of corridor roads in the valley. The Division has mobilized Corridor Management Team (CMT) amidst a program today. The plan has been implemented to make maximum use of the main corridors of the Kathmandu Valley, Bishnumati, Bagmati, Dhobikhola, and Manohara corridors, which have been constructed and operated with the continuous coordination and initiative of the Division.Starting today, the corridor has been divided into 24 sections and 17 teams have been formed for the corridor clearance. To identify the team, they will wear fluorescent jackets labeled "Traffic Police - CMT" and will continuously monitor motorcycles on their responsible corridor roads. " The branch has mobilized a separate dedicated team with the main objective of managing traffic congestion on the corridor roads, speeding up traffic in case of road accidents, and controlling unorganized parking, " said, SSP Janak Bhattarai.The team will also encourage ordinary motorists to use the corridor road in a short and easy way to reach their destination. Using the corridor road as an alternative to the queue at the junction of the main road is expected to save time and fuel. The use of corridor roads is expected to reduce the traffic congestion on the main road and also facilitate traffic and traffic management.The team will continuously monitor the area under its responsibility to facilitate vehicular traffic, smooth the corridor road, manage the pressure/queue at bridges and Jackson crossings, discourage the tendency to use excessive corridors, develop the habit of using corridor roads and give priority to users. The team is confident that it will play an important role in the effective traffic management of the people by actively working in the corridor management.
