Alternate roads to Bengaluru International Airport

Photoyogi - 28-MAY-2008

Dear friends,
Am reviving an old thread started by kbsyed61 http://praja.in/content/discuss/2008/03/roads-new-bangalore-international-airport - The reason is simple, Now that the Airport has commenced commercial operation There might be some new one-ways / re routes that we might have been forced into. Praja members who also know of some other "long" short-cuts to the already announced BCP's suggestions welcome to share routes here, Its always good to know by-pass routes in the event of blockage on main routes..

Belandur Jam

The Belandur-ORR intersection has become completely unmanageable. The ORR + 2 service roads intersect with the traffic from Belandur. So, this is not a 4-way intersection but a 12-way intersection at the very least.

Excellent initiative

The drive by BBMP to ensure parking for visitors vehicles in commercial and residential buildings by implementing the rules is laudable and timely.

Municipal workers to fine traffic violators?

silkboard - 22-MAY-2008

Refer the news in papers today - "BBMP has warned residential and commercial complexes that don't allow visitor parking inside their premises. As per the byelaw, they must reserve 10% of the parking space for visitors".

Now, see this development along with an interesting news reported this week (source biz-standard): "MP Govt has created Urban Transport Authority which will make local bodies and traffic police work together ... fine collected ... will be used to raise funds for better traffic management, more parking space ... so far, the police used to deposit fines in state treasury".

BDA Junction - now open!

Photoyogi - 21-MAY-2008

Posting this on behalf of Photoyogi, he is at BDA junction right now, watching temporary traffic chaos live as the magic box there has just now been opened to public. First reports indicate that due to lack of clear communication on new traffic routing plan (see this recent post that has the new plan), folks are struggling to find their way around. Please tell your journalist friends to carry the new route map sketched here earlier in tomorrow's papers so that the chaos can ease.

I was about to be killed in an accident

Vasanth - 21-MAY-2008

Today morning, I came from Mysore in a bus and got down in front of the Mysore road satellite bus stop. I had parked my bike in the satellite bus stand. I had to cross the road to go to satellite bus stand. It was real horrible experience with no considerations to pedestrains and road crossings. There is no single zebra crossing to cross the Mysore road and there is no sky walk either. We have to cross the road in the middle of the traffic. Vehicles will be piled up very long and mostly buses and trucks.
