Traffic around KBR Park in Hyderabad eases as motorists adapt to new one-way system
Traffic police reported lower vehicle volumes and fewer bottlenecks on the second day, with 60-70% of motorists adapting to the diverted routes; around 400-450 personnel were deployed at key junctions, while additional signage and public announcements helped guide commuters
Traffic around KBR National Park in Hyderabad showed significant improvement on Wednesday, the second day of a new one-way system, as motorists adapted to the changes. Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Joel Davis reported that traffic volume was 5-10% lower than on Tuesday, with 60-70% of motorists merging smoothly into the diverted traffic streams.
The traffic police increased signage and deployed public service announcements to guide motorists, with 400-450 officers stationed around the park and surrounding junctions. Many commuters had left earlier than usual, helping traffic disperse more evenly. The new system was described as "seamless" by some, while others found it less intuitive.
Some motorists have opted to avoid the area altogether, taking different routes to bypass KBR Park. The smoother flow was reflected in online discussions, with users reporting significant improvements in traffic flow compared to the first day. Officers will continue to monitor movement and adjust as motorists become more familiar with the new arrangements.
