Map of Transport operation plan, Ahmedabad 1969




Ahmedabad Traffic cell, 40 years before tries to ork out a traffic plan, to ease the congestion. The transport congestion 40 years before was the same thing, and the solutions as well, as it is suggested today. The same old, Parking issues, pedestrian space provision, removing the roadside shops, etc. Looks we haven't moved ahead itself...
Interestingly, the visuals in this manual of 1969, is also the same, expect for the Car and Bike brands.

Most striking feature of this map, it shows atleast 50% of the wall was existing just 40 years down the lane, along with two extra gates. But today, 10% of wall, and 11 gates instead of 14.
