Gurgaon, March 21 (IANS) Police in Gurgaon plan to install liquid crystal display (LCD) screens at major intersections as part of an IT-driven system to streamline road traffic during the Commonwealth Games in Delhi.

'The screens will provide information about traffic at the next intersection, alternative routes and parking lots. This is part of the Intelligent Trffic System (ITS),' Police Commissioner S.S. Deswal said Sunday.

A traffic police official said that 'itelligent' traffic lights and variable message signs (VMS) would be the focus of the system.

'Currently, we have traffic signals with prefixed timings. In the intelligent signalling, there will be sensors fixed on roads which would read the volume of traffic on the road on the basis of which the signals would turn green and red,' he said.

Also, the system will have a device to scan registration number plates.

'With this we can know whether the vehicle has been used in any criminal activity. Data of such vehicles will already be stored in the device,' the official said.

The major intersections where the ITS is likely to be installed are Shankar Chowk, IFFCO Chowk, Rajeev Chowk, Golf Course road, the road that leads to CWG venue and the Gurgaon-Faridabad road.
