Bengaluru’s tech corridor witnesses massive traffic gridlock

The Hindu  

The tech corridor alongside the Outer Ring Road witnessed traffic gridlock, which lasted for around four hours in the evening on Wednesday ahead of the weekend, preceded by the Eid Milad holiday on Thursday and the call for Karnataka bandh on Friday. According to regular commuters and traffic police, ORR witnessed traffic snarls throughout the day, and many officegoers took almost three hours to reach their workplaces in the morning. Ahmed Faraz, an IT employee who works near Sarjapur, said he changed his regular commute route after checking the traffic situation on Google Maps and still ended up reaching home later than usual. He said, “While my children usually come home by 3.30 p.m., they reached only around 6 p.m. due to the traffic.” The traffic congestion also brought the limelight back on the existing civic problems along the tech corridor, including narrow roads, waterlogging and potholes.
