  "summary": "The Cyberabad traffic police are currently evaluating several strategies, including diverting RTC buses, closing certain U-turns, and constructing a pedestrian underpass, to alleviate traffic congestion along the JNTU Junction-HITEC City corridor. A recent coordination meeting, chaired by Cyberabad Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Sunpreet Singh, reviewed traffic conditions, bottlenecks, and conflict points between JNTU Junction and HITEC City, as well as the Botanical Garden-AMB Mall stretch. Officials discussed the feasibility of diverting RTC buses and closing select u-turns to reduce cross-movements and improve vehicle flow. A pedestrian underpass at JNTU Junction was also proposed to enhance pedestrian safety and reduce vehicle-pedestrian conflicts. The meeting concluded with plans for further field-level studies and traffic-flow analysis to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed measures.",
