‘Every flyover creates demand for four more’: Experts seek rethink of Hyderabad’s traffic model

‘Every flyover creates demand for four more’: Experts seek rethink of Hyderabad’s traffic model

A citizens' round table in Hyderabad - titled 'Choked: How Do We Move People, Not Cars' - has proposed an alternative to the city's current strategy of building flyovers. Urban transport experts and citizens are urging the Telangana government to halt major flyover and road-widening projects. Instead, they recommend a redesign of the city's existing roads with a focus on public transport, pedestrians, and cyclists.

This proposal, among several others, will be submitted to the Telangana government. The goal is to tackle Hyderabad's mobility crisis through policy changes and more efficient use of the city's current road infrastructure, rather than relying on large-scale infrastructure projects.
