If you’ve noticed new glass-designed traffic booths popping up at busy crossings in Dehradun, they’re part of the city’s latest push to improve everyday traffic management.
These modern traffic police booths and traffic umbrellas are designed to help traffic personnel work more efficiently while making roads safer for commuters. Built with toughened glass and durable materials, the booths offer protection from rain, harsh sunlight, and winter cold, allowing traffic officers to stay on duty without disruption.
The transparent design gives traffic police a clearer view of the road, helping them respond faster to congestion and manage intersections more smoothly. For commuters, this can mean better traffic flow, quicker decisions at junctions, and fewer bottlenecks during peak hours.
The booths are also equipped with fans and charging points, ensuring officers remain comfortable and connected throughout long shifts. In addition, the structures double up as temporary shelters for pedestrians and senior citizens, especially during extreme weather.
Installed through a joint effort of the Municipal Corporation Dehradun, the Traffic Police Department, and the Smart City initiative, the new booths are a small but practical upgrade aimed at improving daily travel across the city.
For Dehradun’s commuters, it’s a step toward safer roads, smoother traffic, and a more organised urban experience.
