To rid the western side of Borivli railway station of traffic congestion, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and Borivli traffic police have blocked 12 crossings on a 100-metre section of SV Road. 

According to the traffic police, thousands of vehicles ply this stretch daily. There are delays in traversing this distance because of pedestrians dashing across the road, crossing over at several junctures.  A traffic police officer stated in the report that they decided to block all gaps used by pedestrians to cross the road, and these 12 gaps needed to have permanent closures.
