The initiative to stop unauthorised parking to be rolled out first on Abraham Madamakkal Road
Delineators will be installed on bicycle lanes on ‘smart roads’ in the city to prevent other vehicles from parking on them, official sources said.
This comes in the wake of the impending launch on Saturday of the first lot of 360 shared bicycles that will be based at 60 terminals across the city, as part of a joint initiative of Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) and Cochin Smart Mission Limited (CSML) to launch 1,000 shared bicycles.

In a bid to promote sustainable development, Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) has decided to adopt circular economy principles. With this new approach, KMRL aims at reducing the cost of building construction.
According to the plan, KMRL will begin the initiative by using recycled items as building materials. This will reduce dependence on virgin materials for less important areas. Apart from this, KMRL is also considering minimising environmental impacts from transportation.
