In a significant move to tackle Bengaluru's perennial traffic woes, Police Commissioner B. Dayananda took to the streets himself, conducting a thorough inspection of the most congested junctions along the Outer Ring Road (ORR) on Tuesday.
The top cop's surprise visit covered critical choke points including the infamous Silk Board Junction, Bellandur Junction, and Kadubeesanahalli, where thousands of commuters face daily gridlock during peak hours.
Ground Zero Assessment
Commissioner Dayananda didn't just observe from a distance—he engaged directly with traffic personnel and assessed the situation firsthand. "We are implementing immediate measures to ease congestion," he declared, emphasizing the urgency of the situation that affects countless Bengalureans daily.
Tech-Driven Solutions Ahead
The inspection revealed plans for sophisticated technology integration including:
- Advanced signal timing optimization
- Real-time traffic monitoring systems
- Intelligent traffic management solutions
- Enhanced coordination between traffic and law enforcement
These measures aim to transform the ORR from a commuter's nightmare into a model of urban mobility.
Focus on Critical Junctions
Special attention was given to the Silk Board Junction, often dubbed Bengaluru's worst traffic bottleneck. The Commissioner reviewed ongoing infrastructure projects and coordinated with civic agencies to ensure faster completion of flyovers and underpasses that could provide significant relief.
The police chief's hands-on approach signals a new determination within the department to address what has become one of the city's most pressing urban challenges.
