Although, I really want to know what the point of the exercise was if they are not allowing vehicles from ORR to turn right towards Kundalahalli. Quote:
Boose - Booze Cruse - Cruise Loose - Lose Again, don't mean to nitpick. But there are a few people who in the process of giggling at the spelling errors, will miss out on the essence of the message altogether. Also, spotted a moron today. A VW Polo KA 06 P 0606. He was driving against the one way near the Lakme Salon, Graphite India Main Road. I calmly went and stopped my bike in front of him. He gestured to me that he wanted to go front and turn left, hoping to bypass the jam on the other side of the road. I didn't utter a word, nor did I fight. I took out my phone to click a picture. The second he saw the phone, he tried to scoot. I still got a picture of the offender. ![]() Will be posting the same to BTP tonight. | ||

The thing is, the access ramps from and to the ORR at Marathahalli are woefully inadequate to cater to the traffic that use them. Unless suitable expansions or alternatives are implemented, Marathahalli will remain a bottleneck. | |

Marathalli, Silk Board, Kundanahalli will ever remain a bottleneck. Time for us to realize the fact ! These roads are narrow with residential, commercial and business establishments on both sides of road. Acquiring these for demolition and widening the road is out of the window, the authorities would go bankrupt compensating. Building flyover will just shift the jam to another junction. The best alternative they should focus on is build Metro on an urgent basis so that the road traffic usage becomes lesser,leading to significantly less jams. But then, Metro in Bangalore is a Joke. Lets ROFL ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() So they are finally fixing the Madiwala Market stretch. Concrete. Which sucks actually since I feel concrete roads are horrible for 2 wheelers. And the shopkeepers will surely dump stuff on the roads, it will leach some liquids and create havoc for bikers. But anything better than the condition of the road now eh? |

| ![]() Last Saturday, I happened to visit Nando's at ITPL Mall around 10pm and came back around 11pm. Its been over 3 months since I visited that side and was absolutely aghast to see the pathetic condition of the road while coming back from ITPL to Hoodi Circle. It seemed as if I was literally driving on dirt roads.. heck.. even dirt roads are better. It caused a jam at 11pm at night! How can a modern city have such deplorable roads? That too in an area which has such high vehicle density? How are BHPians coping up with this? |

That and the occupybangalore occupysarjapur etc initiatives started by concerned citizens, including a lot of BHP people, that are driving a lot of the road patchup and unprecedented traffic control that's going on in those areas. | |

![]() Most of us cope by adjusting our timings, can't escape bad roads in that area totally! And you will see that the last several pages are almost dedicated to discussing Whitefield traffic problems, says a lot. Last edited by NPV : 15th December 2015 at 16:02. | |

| ![]() Bangaloreans headed towards Manipal Hospital beware. The whole stretch from HAL right upto the Domlur flyover is bleeding a solid red. Google Maps is suggesting you travel through Jeevan Bhima Nagar instead. |

| ![]() Found this imbecile on our roads today. Was coolly driving against the one way until I stopped my bike right in front of him. He stood still and fearless until I whipped out my phone to click a picture of his. He then ran like a coward. Two things I want to tell to him. (Yes, it is filmy :P ) 1) You can run, but you cannot hide 2) Your mind must be polluted by your VW car. ![]() ![]() |

Worst possible solution, India simply does not possess the technology to lay concrete. I'd much rather tackle the potholes and craters than having to drive on concrete at 40 kmph finely wobbling hundreds of times a minute. Tyres wear out much quicker over concrete due to its extremely hard, uneven nature. |
