Watch: Junctions meet Corrections
It isn’t just the poor lane discipline, driving etiquette or
narrow roads at long last, poor engineering at
traffic junctions has been identified as the culprit for traffic jams in Bengaluru. And here’s the best part about emerging from a life in denial: 85 traffic junctions are being fixed to allow free flow of traffic.
“Majority of the traffic jams in the city are the result of bad engineering at traffic junctions which have become a hurdle for the smooth flow of traffic. We cannot do anything to the existing traffic junctions. Lack of forethought and engineering are the main causes for the chaos at the traffic junctions. There should not be any restrictions on taking a free left turn at the traffic junctions,” said Srihari MN, a traffic expert.
