Mumbai Metro Line 3: MMRC Enhances Road Safety With Yellow Box & Pedestrian Crossings Near Dadar Station

Mumbai: In a move to improve road safety and pedestrian convenience, the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) has implemented a yellow box marking and a clearly visible pedestrian crossing at Ram Ganesh Gadkari Chowk, near the entry and exit gates of the Dadar Metro Station. This upgrade is part of a broader initiative to improve traffic flow and pedestrian accessibility around Metro Line 3 stations.

The yellow box aims to prevent traffic congestion by ensuring vehicles do not block the intersection. At the same time, the prominent pedestrian crossing enhances safety for commuters walking to and from the station.

The Dadar Metro Station is a key stop on the Mumbai Metro Line 3, also known as the Aqua Line. This fully underground corridor stretches across 33.5 kilometres and includes 27 stations, connecting crucial areas from Colaba in South Mumbai to SEEPZ in the north. With increasing footfall at these stations, the MMRC’s latest initiative is timely and much needed.

According to an official post shared by Mumbai Metro Line 3 on the social media platform X, similar upgrades are being implemented at several other vital junctions near Metro Line 3 stations.

The shared post included images showcasing the improved road markings near Dadar Station, highlighting the MMRC's commitment to commuter safety and efficient urban mobility.

Ram Ganesh Gadkari Chowk, a busy intersection connecting to the Dadar Metro Station, now serves as a model for what other junctions can expect soon. These infrastructural enhancements are expected to streamline both vehicular and pedestrian movement, creating a safer and more organised urban transit environment.
