| ![]() As per BTP, the road between Marathahalli bridge and Silk Board is closed due to BWSSB work. I guess they mean the road that leads from M'halli bridge to the end of the under-pass until Innovative. Expect a huge pile-up on M'halli bridge. It was full up to the brim today morning. |

Coming from Hebbal, towards Manyata, ever since one arm of the flyover has opened (before Nagwara) the Nagwara signal has become a huge pain. Large part of the problem is also the unscientific entry and exit points for Manyata Tech Park. | |

| ![]() The Bellandur flyover has become a giant mess ever since it opened. The root cause is actually the other side (the Intel/RMZ Ecospace side). What's happened is that the service road has been closed at the junction and vehicles are joining the ring road just under the main span of the flyover. Imagine the disruption that happens when a steady stream of traffic takes a right angle turn into an already moving traffic flow. This is causing the traffic jam to build up. Add to this, the huge number of vehicles that take a U-turn on to the service road which adds to backup. Then there are a lot of people that take a U-turn at the end of flyover on the Pratham Motors side, who cannot do so because the other side of the road is jammed. This causes the traffic to build up on the flyover itself. A truly messed-up situation. A few easy solutions come to mind - They should open up the entry to the service road near Intel. This will atleast prevent vehicles coming from Marathahalli having to take a U turn to go to Intel/Ecospace - Close the service road after Ecospace. All Ecospace vehicles should join the main road near the exit gate. Note from the Team-BHP Support Staff : Abusive language – whether used directly or indirectly - is STRICTLY prohibited on Team-BHP.

IMO, the service road is the fastest way to travel on this road. Mostly it is empty and yes, more cars on service means slower merging. Again, kudos to the traffic cops and the wardens who are braving the dust and keeping the traffic flowing. | ||

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Any idea what was the reason for the huge jam on ORR between Hebbal and MTP? I may have annoyed a few folks out there though. |

Also, there is now no U-turn at Marathahalli signal (for those who want to get back on the bridge); U-turn can be taken near Brand Factory. Saw barricades there too so not sure if it'll be disallowed. Similarly, those coming from Old Airport cannot turn right to get on to ORR. I'd suggest those coming from Whitefield/M'hall who want to get on to ORR to not get on the flyover and instead drive along the tracks and cross at the railway crossings. Those who want to go towards MG Rd - have popcorn and good music ready! | |

| ![]() I dont understand the design of the flyovers/underpasses on the ORR here! Why on the left?? Why not make a single flyover/underpass in the middle. The person who has to go left will keep left and the person who wants to go straight will keep right which is proper thing. Also U-turns can be built under the flyover in this kind of a design. But with this strange design of flyovers on left, people are in right most lane till they approach the flyover/underpass (as it is the fast lane) and then they realise they need to take left to use it! Which kind of slows the entire traffic down as you need to change lanes and there would be traffic in that lane already. Also its mighty confusing for people coming there first time! In addition there is absolutely no provision for a U-turn in such a design!! What a disaster. Last edited by GTO : 25th February 2012 at 13:35. Reason: Removing quoted post which has been edited |

| ![]() howdy bangy boys, i have a question. I may be shifting to Blore in the near future; I've been wondering how persistent/anal are the cops there with cars with outstation plates? I love my Lancer and I find the idea of having to give her up just because im shifting to blore for a couple of years more than mildly distressing. Any idea there? |
