In view of the monsoon session of Parliament, which begins on July 20, 2026, the Delhi Traffic Police has issued a detailed traffic advisory for the people of the capital. Security arrangements in New Delhi will be more stringent than ever due to the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha proceedings during the Parliament session. This will also increase VIP and VVIP movement, which is expected to cause significantly higher traffic congestion in the Parliament House and surrounding areas than usual. People have been urged to plan their travels in advance and avoid these routes whenever possible to avoid unnecessary traffic jams.
According to the Delhi Traffic Police, during the Parliament session, Rafi Marg, Motilal Nehru Marg, Maulana Azad Road, K. Traffic congestion will be highest on Kamaraj Marg, Raisina Road, Rajendra Prasad Road, Parliament Street, Ashoka Road, Talkatora Road, Pandit Pant Marg, and Rakabganj Gurudwara Road. Traffic on these roads may be stopped or diverted from time to time for security reasons. Therefore, it is advised to use these routes only when absolutely necessary.
In addition, traffic will be affected at several important intersections and roundabouts, including Vijay Chowk, Boat Club, Rail Bhavan Roundabout, Sunehri Masjid Roundabout, Patel Chowk Roundabout, Buta Singh Roundabout, Prime Chowk Roundabout, GRG Roundabout, and Jalebi Chowk Roundabout. Traffic movement may be slow in these areas due to security checks, VIP convoys, and traffic diversions. Office-goers and those who use these routes daily are advised to allow extra time.
The traffic police have also suggested several alternative routes for public convenience. If possible, people can use Janpath, Man Singh Road, Akbar Road, Teen Murti Marg, Shanti Path, Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad Road, Kamal Ataturk Marg, Panchsheel Marg, Vinay Marg, Connaught Place Outer Circle, Baba Kharak Singh Marg, RML Roundabout, Mother Teresa Crescent Road, 11 Murti, and Sardar Patel Marg.

If necessary, traffic may be temporarily stopped or diverted on some routes. Drivers are requested to follow the instructions of police officers and avoid driving rashly or in the wrong direction.
The police have also advised those working in New Delhi, Central Delhi, or the areas around the Parliament House to check traffic conditions before leaving home. If possible, use public transport or the Delhi Metro, which will reduce the number of vehicles on the road and maintain smooth traffic flow.
The Delhi Traffic Police has appealed to the public to maintain patience and follow traffic rules.
