What happens when multiple lanes suddenly converge into one?... The IIT flyover towards Madhya Kailash is a clear example. Vehicles approaching from Anna University use four lanes, but only one lane is available in their direction on the flyover. This sudden compression creates a bottleneck, forcing vehicles to merge at the same point and causing the queue to build backwards. I hope the ongoing road widening and subsequent route redesign at this junction will improve traffic flow. 🤞 Greater Chennai Traffic Police Aadhav Arjuna Chennai Updates Reclaim Chennai streets Raavanan #chennai #traffic #iit #annauniversity #gandhimandapamshow more

I studied the traffic flow at the TIDEL Park... signal this morning and identified a major cause of the morning congestion towards Madhya Kailash. Within approximately 100 metres, traffic from six lanes is forced into just two narrow lanes because of Metro construction. This sudden bottleneck creates a queue extending 300–400 metres. 🧵 Greater Chennai Traffic Police Greater Chennai Corporation CMOTamilNadu Aadhav Arjuna Sameeran MTC Chennai CUMTA | Transport Authority Chennai Updates OMR Updates Ｓａｍ Ｐｏｎｒａｊ Omjasvin M D Rajesh 🇮🇳 Vidyasagar Jagadeesan🇮🇳 Reclaim Chennai streets #chennai #omr #traffic #tidel #tidelpark #thiruvanmiyurshow more

One major cause of congestion at the TIDEL Park... signal! Vehicles coming from SRP Tools either turn right towards Thiruvanmiyur or go straight towards Madhya Kailash. Some right-turning vehicles occupy the left-side lanes and wait for their green signal. This blocks vehicles going straight, even when their signal is green. In this video, an MTC bus intended to turn right (see the indicator), but positioned itself in the leftmost lane well before the junction. The bus blocked the entire lane, bringing all straight-moving vehicles behind it to a stop and creating avoidable congestion. 🧵 Greater Chennai Traffic Police Greater Chennai Corporation CMOTamilNadu Aadhav Arjuna Sameeran Chennai Updates OMR Updates Ｓａｍ Ｐｏｎｒａｊ Omjasvin M D Rajesh 🇮🇳 Vidyasagar Jagadeesan🇮🇳 Reclaim Chennai streets #chennai #omr #traffic #tidel #tidelpark #thiruvanmiyurshow more

This is exactly what I expected from the U-Turn... changes in Thoraipakkam by Greater Chennai Traffic Police. Commuters will start taking the opposite-side service roads, creating another choke point for vehicles coming from that direction. Even buses are using OMR service roads nowadays.

Long Weekend Escape? Bengaluru Crowd Turns Agumbe Ghat Into... 4-Hour Traffic Festival This is the scene at Agumbe Ghat when people from Bengaluru head out to “enjoy” their long weekend only to end up stuck in traffic for 3–4 hours straight. What was supposed to be a peaceful getaway into nature turns into an extended parking session on a hill road. Instead of exploring scenic views, breathing fresh air, and relaxing, people are treated to a premium experience of bumper-to-bumper traffic, honking symphonies, and slow-motion driving from one curve to the next. Ironically, the only thing moving faster than the vehicles is the frustration. At this point, it almost feels like the plan isn’t to escape the city, but to carry Bengaluru’s traffic along for a road trip. Long weekend holiday? More like a well-organized traffic festival—where the destination doesn’t matter, because you’re already spending all your time on the road. #bangalore #bengaluru #traffic #agumbe #ghat Agumbe Rainforest AgumbeRainforest SP Shivamogga DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

Integrated Flyover to Ease Travel and Enhance Mobility! Inaugurated... and unveiled the stone plaque of the Savitribai Phule Pune University Square Integrated Double-Decker Flyover (Aundh to Shivajinagar), in Pune today. The flyover has been constructed to address long-term traffic management at University square (Chowk) and Ganeshkhind Road, providing a sustainable solution to congestion in this busy area. One side of the flyover, from Aundh to Shivajinagar, has already been opened for traffic. The ramps on the Shivajinagar and Aundh sides are complete, while the remaining ramps at Baner and Pashan are planned to be finished by October 2025. The flyover has been developed as an alternative arrangement to reduce traffic jams and improve flow. This project has been designed to ensure smoother and safer commuting for citizens and is part of a larger vision to enhance urban mobility. This project is more than concrete and steel. It directly benefits citizens by making daily travel easier and more convenient. Every step, from planning to construction, has focused on safety, efficiency and improving the lives of those who use this route daily. With initiatives like this, the city moves forward, delivering progress that serves the people.

This shift will be in place for about a year and is necessary to rebuild the center part of I-95.show more

Thank you. This is inner ring road, coming from... Indiranagar to Koramangala on a weekday. Street hawkers have taken up the side lane + the pavement on both sides of ring road. This not only obstructs the pavement, but also causes so much traffic. As if the road works and flyover construction isn't causing enough chaos, we have guys selling t shirts and omelettes on the ring road?

Flight Queue on Kempegowda international airport Runway Gives Passengers... a ‘Traffic Jam’ Déjà Vu Peak Bengaluru moment! After facing endless traffic jams on the city’s roads, now the runway at has started to mirror the same chaos. A long queue of flights was seen lined up one after another, waiting for their turn to take off almost like vehicles stuck at a traffic signal.Passengers onboard even joked and thought it was a “runway traffic jam,” as multiple aircraft were standing still in a line. But in reality, this is not an actual traffic jam it’s a routine holding pattern where flights are cleared for takeoff one after another.Still, the sight of planes piling up on the runway perfectly captures the “Peak Bengaluru” vibe where traffic seems to follow you, whether you’re on the road or in the sky #bengaluru #bangalore #kempegowdairport #bangaloreairport BLR Airport ATC Blog ✈ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

Curious your thoughts on this one. FSD did not... react at all to vehicles squealing their tires and swerving out of the way. This is a pinch point in the highway where two lanes merge. I mashed the brakes to avoid being involved in the mess, which allowed another driver to use my spot to avoid a potential rear ending. I saw folks slamming the brakes far earlier than I pressed the brakes and waited for FSD to react. It did not.show more

Today's heavy rain around 3:00 PM exposed a serious... civic issue. The drainage grate on the Veerannapalya Flyover (Nagawara to Hebbal road) became completely blocked with garbage, causing severe waterlogging. Within minutes, the flyover was flooded, forcing traffic to come to a standstill and resulting in a 3–4 km traffic jam. I was at home when I noticed the heavy congestion on Google Maps. I immediately put on my raincoat and rushed to the location. By the time I arrived, Sector Cobra personnel had also reached the spot. Together, we cleared the garbage blocking the drainage grate. Within 15 minutes, the water drained away and traffic resumed smoothly. What surprised me the most was that more than 100 people were standing there watching, yet no one stepped forward to remove the debris. If just a few people had taken the initiative, thousands of commuters could have been spared from unnecessary delays. Even more concerning is the negligence of the agencies responsible for maintaining stormwater drains. Because of poor maintenance, the burden often falls on Traffic Police, Traffic Wardens, volunteers, and responsible citizens to solve problems that should have been prevented in the first place. Let's not be citizens who only complain. Whenever it is safe to do so, let's become part of the solution. Sometimes, a small act of responsibility can save thousands of people from inconvenience. A responsible city is built by responsible citizens. Let's all do our part.

Pune: A shocking incident at Pune's busy University Chowk... has raised serious concerns over traffic rule enforcement after a luxury BMW was allegedly driven on the wrong side of the road, putting the safety of other motorists at risk. According to locals, the driver ignored traffic regulations and entered the junction from the wrong side, creating a dangerous situation for commuters. Citizens reportedly captured photos and videos of the incident and shared them with the Traffic Police while also tagging the authorities on social media. However, one citizen has alleged that no action has been taken so far despite the evidence being submitted. The incident has sparked public outrage, with many questioning whether owners of luxury vehicles receive preferential treatment. Residents have demanded strict action against the driver, asking whether traffic rules apply equally to everyone or only to ordinary citizens. All eyes are now on the Traffic Police to see whether action will be taken against the alleged violation.show more

BEWARE OF MUMBAI TRAFFIC POLICE NEGLIGENCE! Thanks to my... dashcam, otherwise this totally incompetent Mumbai Traffic Police lady constable (who was very rude btw) would have extorted money from me for no fault of mine! As you can see in the video, I cross the stop line VERY comfortably when the light is green. When I am half way across the wide highway on which this light is situated is when the light turns orange. And then red at the point where there is a bottleneck created by these very traffic police operating under the flyover. The lady traffic constable in concern isn't even looking at my car or the light the whole time. She was busy looking somewhere else and just turns and looks at my car when I have already crossed the entire road, and she gestures me to stop, pointing at the light, indicating that I jumped it! After this, what is not recorded, because I stopped the recording to show it to her is even more shocking. She came up to me and said I jumped the light. I said no it turned red well after I crossed it, to which she rudely said "kaahi hi bolu naka" which means "dont talk rubbish"! Wow! After that I showed her the video, but SHE STILL INSISTED THAT I WAS WRONG AND I SHOULD PAY THE FINE. SERIOUSLY! NO KIDDING! This is her judgement making ability and she is in law and order? Her last plea to me was that why dont I pay, the fine is just Rs. 500! “Aaya hai to kuch deke hi jaana” attitude??

The traffic situation in Bengaluru has reached a point... that is nothing short of insane. It seems almost as if traffic jams are being created humanly, simply due to ignorance and lack of traffic sense. One recurring problem is the behavior of the 500CA buses near Jeevika Hospital, where frequent U-turns disrupt the flow of traffic, causing unnecessary congestion on an already busy stretch. A practical solution would be to stop these buses from making U-turns at Jeevika Hospital and instead divert them via the service road onto the Marathahalli bridge, continuing towards Kunhalli. Such a small change in traffic management could significantly reduce jams, improve commuter experience, and make daily travel less stressful for thousands of motorists. It’s high time that small yet effective measures like this are implemented to restore some sanity to Bengaluru’s roads. #bangalore #bengaluru #orr #marathahalli Greater Bengaluru Authority Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

🚨Congestion Pricing and NYC’s Self-Inflicted Wound: Are Bus and... Bike Lanes Making Things Worse? As a lifelong New Yorker and daily driver, I’m seeing our city’s streets become more congested, less safe, and now, more costly—all thanks to street design choices that haven’t delivered on their promises. With congestion pricing on the way, drivers will soon have to pay extra for navigating roads that are bottlenecked by bike lanes, bus lanes, and pedestrian plazas. These were meant to relieve traffic and improve safety but have done the opposite. Areas like 6th Avenue, Lower Manhattan, and the West Village have seen car lanes disappear, replaced by underused bike lanes and additional bus lanes, making traffic worse. Parking is now dangerously close to bike lanes, where drivers risk being struck as they exit their vehicles. Meanwhile, bike lanes—used mainly in the warmer months—eat up space all year, adding to traffic problems without a year-round payoff. And for pedestrians, the situation isn’t much better. Crosswalks have become hazardous, with cyclists often ignoring stoplights and pedestrians’ right-of-way. What was meant to be a safer design has instead put walkers in harm’s way. Then there are the pedestrian plazas, such as those in Times Square and along Broadway. Intended as public spaces, they’ve funneled more traffic into surrounding streets and often become gathering points for crime, drug use, and loitering. What was supposed to create safe communal spaces has instead added congestion and security concerns to nearby areas. All this comes at a time when New Yorkers are already stretched thin. Between high taxes, soaring costs, and low wages, most can barely afford to live here. Adding a new congestion fee feels like punishment for a problem we didn’t create. So, what do you think? Should we keep paying for these planning missteps, or is it time to rethink the balance of our streets and find a solution that doesn’t leave New Yorkers footing the bill?

This Jain mandir has created huge trouble on the... one-way road, all the cars are coming from the wrong side, and there is no traffic management. The Mumbai traffic police are also of no help my car was stuck for like 20 minutes in this rain just to move ahead. BEST Bus was behind me luckily I somehow squeezed inside and may be must be little 12” gap maximum to move ahead and in front of me there were almost 3-4 cars back to back coming from the wrong side. This is unacceptable If you have a festival hire a valet company! Every year it’s the same! I dunno what the Mumbai traffic police are doing?

I use Ngong Road almost every day, so I... know how bad the traffic has been around Junction Mall and Naivasha Road. Sometimes a short journey would take much longer because of the heavy traffic. The new Ngong Road Naivasha Road Flyover is good news for everyone who uses this road. It will help reduce traffic, save time, make travel easier and also improve safety for drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and boda boda riders. For small business owners, it means customers can reach them more easily. For commuters, it means getting to work or school on time. For boda boda riders and matatus, it means making more trips instead of spending hours in traffic. This is the kind of development that makes a real difference in people's daily lives.

Silk Board 2.0? New Flyover Risks Becoming Next Traffic... Hotspot Traffic management in Bengaluru is becoming increasingly difficult despite big infrastructure projects. The recently opened double-decker flyover was expected to ease congestion, but within days, traffic has already started building up again. This raises a serious concern are we actually solving the problem or just shifting it? For years Silk board Junction, has been a symbol of endless traffic. Now, even with new developments, the situation risks repeating itself. If such congestion continues, future plans like tunnel roads could become even more problematic, with the danger of vehicles getting stuck inside enclosed spaces during peak hours. Bengaluru doesn’t just need bigger projects it needs smarter solutions. Improving public transport, enforcing traffic rules, introducing intelligent signal systems, and promoting staggered office hours can make a real difference. Without proper planning and accountability, even the biggest projects will fail, and new roads will only add to the city’s growing traffic crisis. #bangalore #bengaluru #traffic #doubledecker #silkboard ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

Today, I saw it for myself and now agree... that one of the biggest causes of traffic jams in Kampala are the drivers who get on the road late but then, disregard all legal, moral, or human decency by forming extra lanes because those there before them aren't in as much of a hurry as they! In this video, there are two lanes - the one to the left illegally formed - but see how the driver of this St. Francis Ntinda Kigoowa van creates. THIRD LANE right in front of a bridge!
