Nagpur: In a major step towards reducing traffic congestion and promoting disciplined parking habits among citizens, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has designated 51 strategic street parking zones across the city. These newly identified zones collectively accommodate over 13,500 two-wheelers and 4,000 four-wheelers, bringing relief to both commuters and pedestrians.
As part of the initiative, the NMC has marked parking spots using white painted lines — angled lines for wider roads and parallel lines for narrower lanes. Each two-wheeler slot measures 1m x 2.5m, while four-wheeler slots are sized 5m x 2.5m. The initiative is being carried out under the guidance of Municipal Commissioner and Administrator Dr. Abhijit Chaudhari.

The NMC had earlier conducted field visits in collaboration with the city’s Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) to assess high-traffic zones. Following these inspections, Dr. Chaudhari directed that proper markings be made to ensure orderly parking on streets.
After surveying 75 major roads across Nagpur, 51 have been finalized for the street parking project. According to Executive Engineer Ravindra Bundhade, the effort has already started receiving a positive response from motorists.
This planned approach is expected to:
• Significantly reduce random and illegal roadside parking
• Alleviate bottlenecks in traffic movement
• Encourage citizens to follow designated parking norms
• Make footpaths safer and more accessible for pedestrians
The NMC has appealed to citizens to use these designated parking spots responsibly and follow traffic rules to contribute to the city’s orderly development.
