Bangalore Police's take on city roads

11 August 2007 - 10:31pm — silkboard

I was googling around when I stumbled upon this page on Bangalore Police website. Well written open talk, that goes to tell you that they know the traffic problems and possible solutions. First up, a clear admission of the problem:

Mysore airport upgrade

Safety - how do we enforce it?

10 August 2007 - 6:58pm — silkboard

Road safety isn't only about rash driving, seat-belts or using cellphones. A thing like this (pic on left) can easily turn into that (pic on right): Isn't it? What if you were riding or driving behind the blue truck (above) when its load came crashing down on the road?

Mysore-track doubling is fine, what about the single line to Mangalore?

9 August 2007 - 2:06pm — silkboard

GVK started that active discussion to inquire about Mysore track doubling progress. What about Mangalore line? Any idea what is up here?

Whitefield and connectivity

9 August 2007 - 10:05am — silkboard

When Marathahalli bridge construction work was in full swing (it still is), and we were struggling to cross the run-down work site, I was thinking about connectivity problems of this east-of-Bangalore suburb. When I say Whitefield, I mean the whole Mahadevpura, Hoody, ITPL, Whitefield, RG Halli, Brookfields, Kundalahalli region.

Live traffic from BTIS

We are really glad that BTIS and Mapunity have come up with a wonderful system to track the traffic situation in Bangalore in realtime. So next time you are planning your outing, visit this page to check the latest about traffic.

Two new loops at Silk Board flyover?

6 August 2007 - 12:24am — silkboard

If you hate blogs and The Hindu for sounding so critical and negative, then you must appreciate the effort "Times Property" supplement makes at providing positive and constructive "news" on infrastructure front. I put news under quotes there because some say advertisers on that supplement ensure a positive picture is painted.

Bangalore-Mysore rail track doubling

5 August 2007 - 8:04am — GVK

Would anyone know of the status of this long pending project ? It's re-revised date for completion ? The hassles ? And the way out, if any ?

Lanes, Are They Useful?

2 August 2007 - 5:46pm — tsubba

Can lane discipline really reduce traffic jams? Are lanes of any use? Given how things are, not as they are designed, and not unless they put some thought to it.

Banerghatta Road to Hosur - shortcut?

31 July 2007 - 9:23am — silkboard

We all know how bad the area round 19th main intersection is. (marker #1 in the map below). So it is not a surprise, that a shortcut to get to Hosur Road is getting pretty popular. I am guessing markers #2 and #3 are it. Or is it a set of roads further south, someone correct or confirm please.
