Escorts Junction is a four arm signalised junction adjoining Fortis Hospital in south east Sarai Jullena Village. Junction lies in the south west the intersection consisting of C V Raman Marg and Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar Marg. The area comprises a large number of public spaces including hospitals, schools, and commercial establishments. Presently there are 2 hospitals Fortis and Holy Family Hospital located along Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar Marg. Jamia Millia Islamia ia also located at 1.5km from the junction. The major issue at the junction is lack of pedestrian facilities and irregular carriage way width caused by commercial encroachments.

Other prominent landuse feature is the DDA parking which isn’t functional yet. The entry and exit point of this basement parking are designed perpendicular to the traffic flow.
