Reduction in Traffic Congestion
Indiranagar, Bengaluru’s lively hub, is renowned for its vibrant mix of restaurants, pubs, shopping centres, trendy cafes and chic boutiques, attracting crowds to hotspots like 100 Feet Road, CMH Road, and 12th Main Road. However, the area’s narrow roads and limited parking often result in heavy traffic, especially during weekends and peak hours, highlighting the need for better urban planning.
Indiranagar experiences a daily footfall exceeding 29,000 with an average traffic volume of 49,952. The situation is particularly noticeable on major roads like 100 Feet Road, which, despite being one of the wider roads, has a congestion level of 100%. With the street often facing traffic jams, the smaller roads and lanes branching out from these main roads, such as 20-feet wide by-lanes, struggle to keep up.
Here, are some solutions to overcome traffic congestion
1) Implementing Valet Parking Services
