“If you want to drive your car anywhere in the big capital city including IGI airport you can either use suggested routes as mentioned in the traffic advisory which is available on Delhi Traffic Police G20 virtual helpdesk or you can use an app called Mappls Map. This app will show you the best ways to go from your car or bike as per the latest traffic advisory by Delhi Traffic Police,” it says.

Earlier, the Delhi Traffic Police announced widespread restrictions across the capital city ahead of the full traffic rehearsal held on Saturday and Sunday. Roads including the Sardar Patel Marg, Panchsheel Marg, 11 Murti, Teen Murti roundabout, Barakhamba Road, Janpath, Kartavya Path, Vivekanand Marg, near the Lodhi Road flyover, Joseph Tito Marg, Press Enclave Road, Lal Bahadur Shashtri Marg, C-Hexagon, Mathura Road and Saleem Garh bypass were marked as places that were likely to experience traffic snarls due to the restrictions.

The 18th G20 Summit, which will be held on September 9 and 10 is expected to witness the participation of over 25 world leaders. The G20 presents a significant diplomatic opportunity for India, which will convene with the adoption of a joint declaration by all the member states. India assumed the G20 Presidency from Indonesia on December 1 last year.
