Re: Rants on Bangalore's traffic situation

Not sure if this is old news. The down ramp from NICE towards Hosur Road-Silkboard side was being relaid at 1PM in the afternoon and was closed for traffic. All vehicles had to exit towards Hosur side.

Re: Rants on Bangalore's traffic situation

Probably slightly off topic.

How is it driving KA registration car towards Tamil Nadu, via Hosur? Is it normal or anything to be concerned about. Have a drive coming up on this weekend if situation is not worrisome.

I drove on 10th April. Salem-Coimbatore-Thrissur-Guruvayoor. No issues at all. Few others also drove on 12th/13th and have not faced any issues. The 'All Roads to Kerala' thread has some posts.

Re: Rants on Bangalore's traffic situation

A very welcome upside from the elections is that the speed interceptors on the Bellary Road have been absent for some time! May this continue for a long time.

80 is too slow on that road.

Nothing to worry. I drove to Chennai and back on 14th & 16th respectively. Except for the "random" check on the return leg at Attibele for unaccounted money (election related), it was a breeze.

He is planning to drive back on Sunday evening.
Cheers!

Hey buddy, you have any more details on this? Like which part of Malleswaram did this happen and when?

I am going to Malleswaram post my work today, and would surely avoid these particular parts.

Clearing up fast but keep an eye on Maps, I recommend. Some localized congestion now. Luckily schools are out else there would have been mayhem with the school buses.

Re: Rants on Bangalore's traffic situation

NOT a rant for a change :-)

For folks using Tumkur Road especially from Jalahalli towards Yeshwanthpur, the long awaited Pipeline Road is now fully open all the way from Jalahalli Main Road to near Vaishnavi Sapphire Mall / Shell bunk.

As of now its a complete delight to drive on as very few people actually use it. It DOES cut through the troublesome crossing with ORR but it is still far better than using Tumkur Road!

Multiple exits at HMT Main Road, ORR (Taj Vivanta, G'gpalya), Raghavendra Road (next to Golden Grand/MEI Road) and lastly at Shell/Vaishnavi.

.
I fear the the junction of ORR and this road before the Gorguntepalya signal will become a big mess once more people start using this, especially when the Gorguntepalaya signal piles up beyond this junction which happens regularly during peak hours. Yesterday I could see a home guard posted there to manage traffic.

A signal will surely come up very shortly. I use this road almost daily and at 9 am its a real struggle to get onto ORR towards hebbal.

The toll collection has started on the KIAL highway while coming from the city, saw heavy deployment of police while going to airport this morning.

Guys, please avoid the alternative route from Hennur - Bagalur -Bilkehalli- Airport to save Rs130. Its simply not worth it. Most of the places it's broken, lots of speed breakers, dumper truck, BMTC buses hogging into whatever little space which is available. It's a pain to drive despite no real traffic.
