Bengaluru witnessed significant traffic congestion on Mysuru Road as the May long weekend began, with vehicles heading towards Mysuru facing long delays. The bottleneck at the NICE Road junction caused severe snarls, prompting the traffic police to advise commuters to take an alternate route.
Alternate Route Suggested
To ease the congestion, the traffic police have recommended that vehicles traveling to Mysuru use the route via Kaggalipura and Harohalli Road. This detour is expected to help avoid the heavily congested NICE Road junction and reduce travel time.
Impact on Commuters
The long weekend, combined with the popularity of Mysuru as a tourist destination, led to a surge in traffic volume. Many commuters reported being stuck in traffic for extended periods, with the situation worsening during peak hours.
Authorities have deployed additional traffic personnel at key intersections to manage the flow and assist motorists. They urge drivers to plan their journeys accordingly and follow the suggested alternate routes.
This development comes as Bengaluru continues to grapple with traffic challenges, especially during holiday periods. The police have advised commuters to stay updated on traffic advisories and consider leaving early to avoid delays.
