My concern is returning from airport, because I will be alone and the flight booking obviously is not in my name. |

You will have the text message for the toll paid during the onward journey. You may also keep a PDF of the air travel handy. I don't think the cops will be unfair and assume you went on a joyride during a weekend curfew and that you randomly managed to get e-ticket of someone traveling on the same date. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Idiotic idea from BTP: https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.c...w/88884484.cms Either create a strictly enforced "no-entering-unless-your-exit-is-clear" yellow hatched area, else don't paint these useless lines all over the junction. Cabbies will think this is for them to socially distance when in traffic. ![]() Last edited by itwasntme : 14th January 2022 at 09:23. |

I also pity the scribe who enthusiastically publishes this with heavy wordings like "The brand new yellow criss cross markings at the circle ensure smooth traffic flow; also, a reminder that one should not violate traffic rules". Sorry to post like a complete pessimist but those who have seen this know why I am posting this way. For a record, this junction in the video is also one such ZERO TOLERANCE junction and the building next to the board is Yelahanka Traffic Police station. Just look at the way rules are broken here so comfortably: Last edited by paragsachania : 14th January 2022 at 10:16. | |

| ![]() Folks, need help with route suggestions for a destination in an area I'm unfamiliar with. I will start from near C V Raman Nagar/Indirangar and my destination is on Ullal Main Road. Gmaps is suggesting taking the regular Mysore Road via the city CBD area and then going inside Bangalore University Campus (right turn from Mysore Road- is this allowed ?) and then turning to Ullal Main Road. I will need to reach the place by 7am on a Sunday, so I'm assuming I will need to start at 5:45am ? Is this the best route for me ? Last edited by NPV : 15th January 2022 at 12:30. |

I think on a Sunday early morning you do that in half the time. Hence instead of 75 minutes I believe 35 minutes is more than sufficient unless you are driving really slow. I would prefer taking right into the Outer ring road at Nayandahalli for an easier journey instead of Bangalore Uni, even though that is open and there are no restrictions.

Morning it consistently takes me under 20mins to teach the Residency road flyover if I take Old Airport road from Rahat Baug, C V Raman Nagar. | |

Given the sort of abuse these structures take in our country, I just hope there is no drastic issue with the flyover. I had read somewhere that these structures are not meant for static loads and yet we have traffic jams on flyovers with all sorts of loads and overloads. |

Take most of the flyovers in Bangalore and we seem to witness this trend quite consistently:

| ![]() Is it a wise idea to take the Varthur-Whitefield-Budigere road to the airport? I used to take this road before the corona. Despite speed bumps, the ride was peaceful. But off late, there used to be widening and repairs going on (other side of Madras road). Also, since Covid, ORR does not have crazy traffic anymore. Please suggest if anyone has taken this road recently. |
