The CBI junction magic box work has started. But from what I can make out, there is only one box that would come up at CBI junction. Most likely, that would be the case for SJN junction. Given that, traffic flow would most likely be as in the figure. Please note that road widens after SJN towards CBI.
Traffic from SJN towards mekhri would have to take U-turn at CBI magic box and similarly, traffic from RT nagar towards BIA would have to take U-turn at SJN magic box. But I really wonder if there would be enough space to take U-turns at these junctions.

looks good.
This looks like a good design. If the boxes are wide enough (to allow U turns) then the traffic flow should be quite smooth.
Wait at Kodigehalli is going to get prolonged further as another junction becomes signal free.

It will relieve the signal at D Rajagopal road junction
I hope the magic boxes are as big as the BDA junction magic box. If it is the size of Anandnagar, then it becomes useless.
Is there scope to file for RTI infromation about the width of these two magic boxes (BDA and Sanjanagar junction)?
I'm atleast glad the signal near SJN will not exist. The other two hurdles are the Kodigehalli Signal and Yelahanka Signal.

Hi It was a Saturday
CBI Jn - something different
I might have been wrong in my original post above. There is one more box that is coming up just about 100 meters from the box at CBI Jn towards hebbal. Really not sure what the traffic design is upto. Photoyogi, it'd be great if you could ping BBMP engineers on this.
CBI Jn Magic Box Update
Navshot, I was there a while ago, unfortunately there was no work happening tonight so could not chat with the engineers. The traffic was quite heavy so photography was limited to some shots from the coffee day will post the pics online.
Observations:
There are 2 magic boxes that are being being put into place. One at the CBI Junction and the other about 100 meters from the CBI jn towards the anand nagar underpass.
I think these two are going to get linked by a flat surface and would handle the "signal-free" traffic flow to and from the airport.
The function of the MagicBox (M/B) at the CBI junction seems to be some what clear, that it will provide a signal free right turn for traffic from Mekhi circle to CBI & U turn into a service lane to ganganagar market.(?)
The second M/B is puzzling me could not figure the reason and the traffic flow. The locals i spoke to did not have a clue and i could not speak to the engineers.
Navshot if you happen to live around that area can we meet up for a coffee and discuss?
Please wait for photo updates / sketch will put them up once i get to understand the intentions of the M/Bs

Re: CBI Jn Magic Box Update
Photoyogi,
There is one possible usage: The box that is off CBI jn by 100 mtrs may be used for U-turn from hebbal back towards hebbal? I mean, there is no decent U-turn anywhere till this point. Anandnagar one is really a match box and since two boxes are there, it might be difficult to manage U-turn traffic. Numbers are low who require this U-turn, but requirement is there nevertheless.

indeed.
