Vehicular and pedestrian movement

Because of the unspecified and undistinguished path of the vehicular and pedestrian traffic there is a lot of chaos in the orange shaded areas which is not healthy for the people crossing the area.

By doing flash mob at 4 different points a reason was given to the people for staying in the place. But still people were only attracted to the pavement in front of metro station but not to the unmaintained service lane.
