Sohrab Goth intersection, carrying about 180,000 vehicles per day, is a gateway for the traffic between Karachi and other cities of Sindh and Punjab Province. Although the heavy traffic is allowed only at night time, trucks and trailors are often seen passing through this intersection throughout the day. Thousands of intercity large passenger buses and private vehicles pass through this intersection all the day. The other reason of high traffic volume is due to New Sabzi Mandi (Vegetable Market) near Sohrab Goth. Most of the supply of vegetable and fruit in the city carried out on trucks and pickups through the Sohrab Goth Intersection.
The objective of the construction of Sohrab Goth Interchange is to ensure smooth and un-interrupted traffic flow, help in reducing the accident by increasing the safety measures and to reduce the vehicle operating costs.
