Udaipur, October 28, 2026 (Udaipur Kiran): The Udaipur district administration has restricted the entry and movement of heavy vehicles on 11 major routes in the city to reduce traffic congestion and prevent road accidents.

Why Has Udaipur Restricted Heavy Vehicles?
According to the administration, several internal roads in Udaipur are heavily congested and surrounded by residential colonies, major hospitals, educational institutions and commercial markets.
The frequent movement of heavy vehicles such as trucks, dumpers and trailers on these roads has contributed to traffic congestion and increased the risk of serious accidents.
