From a road safety standpoint, intersections are one of the most critical parts of a city’s streetscape and transportation network. In most cities, they account for the highest number of interactions between vehicles and pedestrians.

To increase safety at one high-risk intersection in Delhi, the Delhi Gate Junction, WRI India partnered with Delhi Traffic Police and the Public Works Department under the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety. Located in Shahjahanabad, one of the densest areas of the city, the Delhi Gate Junction is an important node connecting many landmarks. But with a vast unmanaged crossing and traffic area and lack of pedestrian facilities, it was also a black spot for road safety; from 2017-2020, it saw 49 crashes and 18 fatalities.

This is not the case today. Through strong inter-departmental coordination, workshops, engagement and design, it is now being transformed into a safer and more inclusive intersection with large areas reclaimed for placemaking.
