KATHMANDU: Kathmandu Metropolitan City is set to implement a one-way traffic system on several roads in Ward No. 5, aimed at improving traffic management, safety, and convenience.

A public notice issued by the Metropolitan City on Tuesday outlined the new traffic arrangements, which will come into effect from February 19.
