During
the year 1994, J.C. Road, Lalbagh Road, Kempegowda Road and Seshadri Road,
were made as one ways in Order to reduce congestion and accidents and to
ensure safe and smooth flow of traffic.
|
Today in Bangalore
City, the vehicular population has exceeded 15 lakh and there is frequent
traffic congestion at many road intersections, viz., Hudson Circle, Town
Hall Circle, Siddalingaiah Circle etc. In order to reduce congestion and
pollution level it has been decided to implement one way system in and
around Hudson Circle area, on an experimental basis.
|
| The
following Roads are made as One
Way Roads: |
-
Nrupathunga Road
In view of increasing
traffic and congestion around Hudson Circle area, one way system was
introduced from 6-08-2001 on temporary basis.
After the trial run,
for the last two months members of the public and some institutions
have suggested to make Nrupathunga Road as two-way, in the interest of
office goers, patients and their relatives who go to Saint Martha's
Hospital, and also to reduce vehicular movement inside Cubbon park,
which has become hazardous.
Therefore, after
careful study, it is decided to convert Nrupathunga Road as two-way
road from 14-11-2001, 7-00 am, onwards. However, one way from
K.R.Junction towards Police Corner will accommodate BMTC buses, but
not in the opposite direction namely from Police Corner to
K.R.junction.
