Bengaluru Traffic Police will implement temporary traffic diversions in the Madiwala area from August 6 on a trial basis. The restrictions, in force daily from 8 am to 10.30 am, aim to ease NH-44 congestion and improve traffic flow during morning peak hours.
In an effort to reduce heavy traffic congestion during the morning peak hours, the Bengaluru Traffic Police have announced temporary traffic diversions within the Madiwala Traffic Police Station limits from August 6. The trial measure has been introduced to ease the movement of vehicles entering the city via National Highway 44 (NH-44) and improve traffic flow for commuters, public transport and emergency services.
According to the police, the diversions have been necessitated by the increasing inflow of interstate vehicles from Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry, which has resulted in severe bottlenecks on key roads around Madiwala during the morning peak hours.
Traffic Restriction Timings
The temporary traffic restrictions will be enforced daily from 8 am to 10.30 am as part of the trial initiative.
The Bengaluru Traffic Police said the restrictions are aimed at reducing congestion and ensuring smoother movement of buses, ambulances and other essential vehicles travelling through the busy Madiwala corridor.
