| ![]() These turns were planned during 2001-02, there is a lot of traffic jam due to idiotic drivers and Tempo travellers making U-turn. It is time to put a brake on the unnecessary food carts, shopping complex and restaurants on service roads. They should create more space on service roads. Better that this turn is closed till an alternate option is worked out. |

On a another note, witnessed an accident near the underpass opposite to Cessna tech park. I was in my car and doing around 50~60 kmph in the middle lane towards Marathahalli direction. There was this two wheeler on right most lane doing 40 kmph or so...behind them was a recklessly driven yellow school bus. The bus was going straight and overtaking the bike from right hand side and the bus driver didn't noticed the divider between underpass and the middle service road.He wanted to take the underpass and made last second left cut and doing so hit the bike. The occupants of the bike were thrown out and the bike was dragged to 3~4 feets with sparks and all. Without even slowing down or looking what happened to the bike occupants the bus sped away. The trio of of husband,wife and a 2~3 years old kid in bike were all hurt, bleeding from all over. I have taken them to VIMS hospital in Marathahalli and first aid was given. After some of their relatives arrived I left from there, hope they will recover soon. Noticed few things from this incident, 1. Most of the ORR is badly lit 2. No proper sign/markings anywhere indicating divider/underpass/etc... 3. Two wheelers doing slow speed on fast lane 4. Useless crowd gathering after any accident. Everybody giving suggestions but nobody willing to help in anyway and adding to more chaos/traffic jam 5. Heartless/mindless drivers of these buses/cabs/tempos Don't know where we are heading to and what will be the state of ORR down the line in 3~4 years... ![]() Last edited by sbalagru6 : 1st November 2015 at 15:23. | ||

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() The Nallurahalli road from Varthur road to Borewell road is relaid now. ![]() The borewell road from Nallurahalli Junction to Whitefield road also has been patched up but many speed breakers have also been built. |

Somewhere on this service road, we have a huge chunk of sand being accumulated. This has been there for quite some time. Even in the available gap, vehicles drive rash as to who wins the race. ![]() | |

| ![]() I wept. Took me a cool 1 hour and 50 minutes from Electronic City to Koramangala 8th Block. This usually takes me 45 minutes max. I'd started from office at 7:15 and reached home at just after 9. Wow, whatever even happened? Even the BETL was jammed from way behind the lay-bye! I just cannot imagine the plight of people who would have had to travel further. And the car guys too. I thank the good lord that it didn't rain at least. Tomorrow - a mail begging the HR to allow us to work from home on Mondays and Fridays. Last edited by naveenroy : 2nd November 2015 at 21:41. |

| ![]() All men/women who had a horrible today commute please stand up! ![]() Today I reached KR Puram from ITPL quite early, which was a surprise, just to lose all the time in the city center with water logged roads and heavy rain. Still managed to reach home in 1:45hrs something like 4:25 left office(MBRDI, ITPL) and reached home at 6:10(BSK 2nd stage). Biggest joke today was my dad was a block ahead of me in the traffic after lifestyle junction and he turned left towards Richmond town. It seems there was a heavy gridlock and he advised me to avoid that road. I continued towards double road and reached home, while he was still at Urvashi junction ![]() We did a lot of river crossing today on Old airport road.

| ![]() If you are on a two wheeler, you can take the short cut and avoid Graphite. Take a right before Brookefield mall, about a KM of mud road and you reach Divyashree techpark. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I was told it rained a lot on the old Airport road. My daughter takes a bus daily at 6 pm from Whitefield to Kodihalli, and it takes about an hour. Today it took her 2 hours due to rain. I believe the bus took only 45 minutes to reach HAL area, but more than an hour for the remaining 3 to 4 kms! She was toying with the idea of driving to work, if I transfer a car to Blr from Hyderabad. But given the chaotic traffic, I dissuaded her from that idea. This apart, the life tax issue is something that cannot be ignored. |
