BHPian ![]() | ![]() About assaulting the people who took the shortcut, what right do the residents have to assault the bikers? Is it a Private road/one way? It is a public road. Maybe it is disturbing the peace, but they should take it up with the authorities, not take law into their own hands. ![]() |

Thank god, the normalcy has been restored. The traffic is moving smooth and the East End Main road is free of bumper to bumper traffic now. Sure, let's catch up sometime. I stay on East End A Main road, my zen has a very small team-bhp sticker on the hatch. I was unable to witness the madness on Saturday and as I was at work little early in the morning. | |

![]() Sometime later, 1 senior citizen who was walking on B main got hit by some bike's handle bar. Later one Skoda Laura which was parked outside a house got rammed by one of the cabs in the melee, rear bumper and boot damaged. Residents decided enough was enough, and that is when Alien vs Predator started. ![]() I agree, perhaps resorting to this was not the best thing to do. But being a resident on these roads, I have to tell you the situation was out of control on saturday. Imagine a hundred vehicles clogging up the crossroad of your house and honking at each other in a bumper-to-bumper jam, right outside your gate. Not exactly something you can go through patiently if you experienced this fiasco. I had to take my dad for a doctor's appointment but couldn't take the car out of the portico because there was a jam right outside my gate!! We finally ended up taking a rickshaw after a 1/2 km walk to the flyover (everywhere else closeby was a one-way). And during the walk, I saw this Alien vs Predator fight scene.

| ![]() Seriously glad the Bannerghatta Road one-way experiment is over. Traffic is now flowing - I don't think the cops know a good thing when they see one! As for the jams on Bannerghatta Road, I find that the worst of it is all concentrated between Dairy Circle and Sagar Hospital junction southbound only. And this is because of:

the divider between Spar and Sagar was closed for a while, but from what I heard, Advaith Hyundai used its arm-twisting tactics and got it opened again. Why? To improve footfall because customers would otherwise have to go all the way till Dairy circle and come back. Did the presence of Sagar auto on that U-turn route influence Advaith to do this arm-twisting? My guess is yes. Perhaps they were afraid customers would stop first at Sagar and end up picking a Swift instead of an i20, and so on.. That Savoury restaurant is a nightmare. Valet drivers keep struggling and playing musical chair with the cars in whatever miniscule parking space they have on the footpath there, especially on friday nights. How did the authorities give permission to open a restaurant at this junction, I wonder. ![]() What I seriously don't understand is how did the traffic police arrive at this logic - that making BG road one way from Sagar apollo signal to Jayadeva will resolve the jam from Dairy circle to Savoury?? ![]() As for Accenture's cabs, I strongly suggest that BTP, well.. bans the cabs! No other solution for this problem *lol* Last edited by KarthikK : 20th June 2012 at 16:32. | |

![]() That road is lined by commercial establishments. Nothing should stop the government from acquiring a few feet of land on either side and widening the road. The Hyderabad government was ruthless in doing so and it improved the situation greatly on most of the roads there (new Hyderabad, not the old areas) | |

| ![]() The private buses that ply between Hosur/Anekal/Attibelle to KR Market is a nuisance on Hosur road. They always hold up the traffic at each signal while picking up passengers at a leisure pace. They do blare their air horns at every chance possible: not the simple air horns but the musical ones. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Marathahalli to Domlur via IRR is getting worse everyday. They are digging the extreme left of the road to install wider drain pipes, but when they seal it back in, they are cementing the road instead of re-tarring. As a result, half of the road width is some uneven concrete surface which assures your vehicle's shock absorbers of sufficient exercise. ![]() Not to mention, traffic is clogged every night from 6 to 9 or so. I wonder why all activities have to be taken up at the same time - ORR flyovers/underpasses, IRR drain pipe replacements, and now an underpass at St. John's signal. Quote:

| ![]() Today morning, an IT company shuttle's driver decided to take a U turn at Doddakannelli despite knowing that there was a lorry parked on one lane (that too, facing wrong side). The traffic was held up for more than 5 minutes. |

Given how bumpy it is, the part where concreting is done is almost left alone now; vehicles use it only to overtake. | |
