Else the flyover is a complete lost cause. Also there needs to ped flyovers near New Horizon Engineering college and maybe Prestige TechPark which are the current hotspots where tons of pedestrians cross and traffic slows down. Of course Ecospace flyover took ages to even start construction , hopefully the other such places are identified and done quickly to ease traffic slightly on ORR. | |

| ![]() Innova has overturned between jakkasandra and Agara Junction ( opp Propsed Mantri SEZ). Traffic is piling up and hence if you are coming from Kormangala/ Madivala, take a right at lemon grass signal and go through HSR BDA complex flyover to Agara. Apparently Innova was speeding and hit the median before overturning. Only driver in Innova and he came out unhurt. ![]() Last edited by bblost : 1st June 2016 at 15:03. |

Somehow going by previous instances, I am sure a lot of Political biggies will object to this plan as traffic will increase within Sadashivnagar area which is full of Politicians. Edit - Don't know if you folks remember but BTP also posted another change between Raj Bhavan and High Grounds. They made this 2 way!! Then they may have reverted to current set-up may be because it failed miserably. In fact it prevented those from Chalukya side to criss cross towards Mount Carmel and instead made them drive passing Golf Course and make U at Windsor Manor to reach the other side. This seems to have lasted a day I believe as it was business as usual yesterday evening but you can notice how they have broken the median opposite to Raj Bhavan to implement this plan that didn't yield them the desired results. Even comments on FB for their post had drawn a lot of criticism. Last edited by paragsachania : 31st May 2016 at 09:22. | ||||

| ![]() Heard on my way to office that there has been a huge traffic pileup just after the toll booth from airport. This is when entering the city from Airport. People going to airport are not affected is what I heard. It seems this is because of the snap stir from drivers associated with OLA and Uber. Last I heard , cops had reached the spot and were trying to manage the situation. |

| ![]() A person was assaulted in Bangalore for taking pictures of a guy riding his scooter on the footpath https://www.facebook.com/permalink.p...unseen-section http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/c...w/52512874.cms This is what our society has come to. We are still such an uncivilized lot. Today morning on my way to office, traffic was held up by 2 guys fighting it out (verbally) over what looks like a minor accident. They parked their cars parallel to each other and fought. Did not even consider the option of pulling over and then arguing. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() When i saw this incident in real time, i felt sorry for those couples. But later when i watched the video (captured by my dashcam), i feel that it may not clear cut case and i see that, the guy moved slightly left (don't know why he did that) and this caused the guy on bike to hit their bike. Whatever it is, lucky that the none got hurt as i was worried about that pregnant women. |

![]() I feel the biker who hit was overspeeding. Your speed as per dashcam info was around 49 kmph, and the way that guy sped past you, looks like he was in good speed. Could be that seeing a bit of uneven patch of road on the left extreme side, he swerved towards right a bit and that is where he hit the other bike.

1. One chap preaching on how the entire infrastructure is messed up in the city, and saying that with that as an excuse "riding on footpath" should be allowed. Chap conveniently ignored the physical assault part. 2. Another chap who wrote a long post on "private details" of a citizen getting exposed, and stating that the person who got bashed up was invading some one else's privacy etc. To be frank gentlemen. This case would go no where. The police also knows that this may become a "local v/s out sider" issue. Chances of this goon getting caught is very very remote.The way things are going, every local is encouraged to become a goon and the out sider gang has to be the "sitting ducks". | |

Team-BHP Support ![]() | ![]() Had a 4.30 am video conference in office. Residency Road free- yippee, about to speed up, huge barriers to divert traffic for road works. Ditto in Domlur Warning, be careful of sudden diversions when driving in Bangalore at night |
