🚨 Vibgyor High School Road, Panathur–Thubarahalli: A Traffic Disaster Waiting to Get Worse 🚧⚠️
These 3 G-maps tell the story better than words.
A stretch of barely 1.5–2 km on Vibgyor High School Road is routinely taking commuters 25–30 minutes to cross during peak hours. The first half alone consumes nearly 13 minutes, while the second half takes another 12 minutes, turning a short drive into an exhausting daily ordeal.
What's even more alarming is that this is no longer just a congestion issue- it's becoming a serious road safety crisis.
⚠️ Daily reports of accidents
⚠️ Near-zero lane discipline
⚠️ Encroachments and bottlenecks
⚠️ Weak or inconsistent traffic enforcement
⚠️ Unfinished road-leveling work on a critical ~100-meter stretch
Despite repeated complaints from residents and commuters, there has been little visible progress. The pending road-leveling work remains incomplete, and there has been no meaningful update from GBA officials on timelines or corrective action.
This corridor serves thousands of residents, school buses, office commuters, emergency vehicles, and public transport users every single day. Yet commuters continue to face gridlock, unsafe driving conditions, and avoidable delays.
📢 We urge:
✅ Bengaluru Traffic Police to deploy strict enforcement and lane management measures immediately.
✅ GBA and concerned authorities to expedite the pending road-leveling and bottleneck-removal work.
✅ GBA officials to publicly share timelines, progress updates, and accountability measures for this stretch.
The people of Panathur, Gunjur, Balagere, and Varthur cannot be expected to normalize spending half an hour to travel less than two kilometres.
Enough studies. Enough delays. This stretch needs immediate intervention before it claims more time, productivity, and lives.

@blrcitytraffic@BlrCityPolice
Dear Sir this becoming everyday issue in Balagere , people are not civic enough to follow lane discipline on the road resulting in total chaos and huge traffic pile up.
Could you please help with the lane separator of 300-400 meters stretches
@GunjurCharan It looks good as a MOM after such meetings. Citizens would only go by all these points unless we have ETA & sanction plan with fund allocation for each.
Any clue on how many properties are to be acquired on Varthur- Gunjur rd for 100 meters of rd widening as planned & the ETA?
@EASTCITYCORP @CMofKarnataka@DKShivakumar@GBA_office@GBAChiefComm@blrcitytraffic I will write it on my forehead this will not last till new year.
The loose gravel signifying improper compaction and inadequate bitumen in the mixture coupled with no kerbs and drainage+ high traffic density due to mastermind geniuses planning east Bengaluru.
