The entire area will be made vehicle free for one primary reason, to attract more tourists and to beautify the place. In turn, this will bring about a huge tourism boost to the city, and not Rajwada alone. Apart from that, visitors will also be able to indulge in a better and a more wholesome experience, owing to the lack of motor vehicles and noise.
As of now, Rajwada becomes a vehicle free zone during the festivals and the goal is to implement the same throughout the year. Authorities have stated that this project was floating around for a while and now seemed to be a good time to implement it. With the tourist season near, it was vital that authorities took note.
Since Rajwada is a heritage building, pollutants from motor vehicles were proving detrimental to the architecture and the stones used. Not only is this a move that will bring about a change in traffic practices, but will also help preserve the palace better than before.
