This saturday while going to JC Road, was caught in a traffic jam right from the start of the Silk board flyover till the St John's signal. After making the stretch from St John's signal to Total Mall 2 way, i noticed that the road width was too narrow to accommodate this sort of traffic. End result - Traffic Jam. | |

"Vehicles on the Adugodi Main Road (Hosur Laskhkar Road) are banned from 8 pm on Sunday till 8 am on Monday" I too faced this diversion as barricades were placed right at Adugodi where the road forks out for Bannerghatta Road all the way till St. Johns (The Signal before Shoppers' Stop). I am assuming that this would have got cleared now and road is open for normal traffic. Related report below: Quote:

First mistake I made, I didn't use the elevated highway. Got stuck at all signals for around 5-10 minutes or more. As I was approaching Silk board finally thinking I cleared all the jams, I noticed traffic piled up to the beginning of the fly over. Immediately took left and went beside the flyover and was stuck there as well for ten minutes for the signal to ORR. Finally got some breathing space until I got stuck again at Sony World signal heading to Indiranagar. After reading your post, I am glad I didn't continue to Madiwala. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() The newly done Whitefield road between Whitefield and Kundalahalli is dug up after D Mart. They seem to be laying a pipe across the road. There was a huge pile up on Saturday morning due to this. |

| ![]() I have received 2 notice from BTP for stopping on Zebra cross. Notice# 1: Queen's Junction: The Zebra cross marking is very faint and hardly visible. Notice# 2: COD Junction: I NEVER stop on Zebra crossing. I make it a point to stop a few inches before the Zebra cross always. I don't remember stopping on Zebra crossing here. I have been sending mails to BTP and following regularly for more than 20 days. Till date I haven't received the photo proof of the violation.

I have filed in RTI with Maharashtra state govt online and have received some response. It takes less than 2 mins to file an RTI online and they are supposed to respond back in 30 days. I would recommend try it. |

If there is no image you can definitely get the fine reversed. Quote:
>>Enforcement center - No image proof >> Local police station who had lodged the complaint - No proof again >> Escalated it to Commissioners office with emails along with local police station in CC - They took out the notepad of the constable who lodged the offence - It was a green hatchback >> Called and told them that mine was a silver sedan - End of the case. Within four days that offense was no longer present under my car registration | ||

| ![]() On my way back home, passed Madiwala Police Station - Madiwala Check Post between 1600 - 1610 Hours and everything was just normal. Before leaving from EC, I checked Traffic on Googlemaps and it was showing Red only at the Check Post Signal and that too not thick red. Decided to take the risk and I am already home covering 34 kms on my return with a 1540 Start from EC ![]() So things were not as Bad as I expected to be on the first working day after the changes were implemented - This could be due to the odd time and the absence of School Buses (already would have passed) and none of the Tech Company buses or cabs dropping anybody home. But expecting this section to be a gamble and would wait for what other have to report when they drive here during Peak hours this evening, Last edited by paragsachania : 15th February 2016 at 17:10. |

This is not the first instance of false penalty that has been imposed. Earlier, I was fined for driving without helmet in an area which I have never visited till now! Paying a fine of 100 bucks would have been easier. However I decided to fight off the fine and got it cancelled after repeated follow-ups. What helped me during that time was working hours proof on that day issued by my employer. However in this case, the penalty has been issued on a weekend. So I'm still unclear of how to proceed. | ||

You will not receive any proof for violations over mail/ post. You need to go to their traffic management center at Ashoknagar and pay 250 INR upfront. You will then be shown the proof. Good luck on your mission. |

But to go to Koramangala from K R Puram is another herculean task. Can we identify a transit point for Koramangala. May be Baiyappanahalli | |
