Commuting on your TBTS, I am surprised that you even consider using the choked main road. There is a side road you can use, I have noticed a lot of 2-wheelers using it. Me included! ![]() | |

I have to try the side road from Jayadeva to A2B again. The first time I tried that shortcut a few months back, there were so many twists and turns that I lost my direction and had to ask some dwellers there on how to get out of that maze ![]() ![]() Last edited by KarthikK : 9th October 2012 at 14:16. | |

Karthik, have you tried this route? Turn right into Bannerghatta road. Take the left near Shopper's stop. Take the road all along BTM Stage II till you reach 29th Main road, and then exit on the AXA signal, either onto ORR, or cross over to the other side and take the side road and exit near Pizza hut.

| ![]() I am not sure of the area's name man. The road is a bit narrow right next to Shopper's stop, but gets wider, and you won't have any traffic jams. As soon as you reach 16th main road, which is the Udipi Garden road, 1. you can turn right and go along 16th main till you reach 29th main road. 2. cross 16th main and keep going straight thro gallis till you reach 29th main. |

| ![]() Sweet. A much better explanation than I managed. I moved out and live in HSR layout nowadays so I don't remember the street numbers. |

| ![]() Update from Bangalore traffic police through their FB page: "There will be a huge protest post 10am in Varthur, try and avoid all roads leading to and from Varthur if possible" People heading that way, take care. |

Any idea what kind of protest it is? Is it related to Cauvery river? I hope it ends by evening, because I don't have any other way to go home! | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() These days the Bellandur lake puliya has a more than decent traffic jam, good to see the bridge work is getting over, and hopefully will end the misery of crossing this area in quick time. Also on the same lines the Dommasandra junction has been having quiet a few jams these days early in the morning. Mostly because of School buses and construction trucks moving around. Isnt this area a School zone were no construction trucks are allowed after 6AM? |

The villagers have never seen so much traffic (just last Sunday I overheard in Dommasandra market, a villager telling another that he had to go to Bangalore next day). When there is a jam, they take their cars/tractors/MUVs on the wrong side and choke the junction even more. Authorities themselves give permission for all this construction and development, but are blind to the fact that infrastructure has to improve. Once the traffic is too much, they will start expanding the road and create more chaos. Our authorities are always reactive and never proactive. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() This morning was the ultimate heights when it comes to traffic. While coming back from dommsundara circle after dropping my daughter i was at the railway crossing near Decathelon about 8:40 and there was full chaos and vehicles had taken both sides of the road to get to the other side (Now this is Normal, looking at the way things happen daily). What happened post that is cause of concern. Suddenly the bell (That informs that the gates are going to close for train to pass by started beeping). Folks instead of stopping were pushing with more zeal so as to compete with train passing. Finally it came to such a state that the gate guard had to step in with couple of others to ensure more people do not sneak in as train was almost there. Someday this could lead to a major mishap. |

This kind of situation is very common on the railway gate at Allalasandra across Bellary road. The approach road to the railway gate has become a narrow 2 lane road after some part of it was acquired for the construction of the 6 lane elevated highway towards airport. The road gets clogged constantly and the gatekeeper struggles to close the gate many a times. Luckily there is a safety system in place which prevents the green signal for trains getting cleared until the railway gate is closed. I have seen many instances where the train comes and stops at the signal, whistles and waits for the gates to be closed! |
