  "account": "My Home Avatar Junction, a busy intersection handling 33,000 vehicles during the morning rush, will be eased by a new underpass. Around 11,000 vehicles pass through from the Nanakramguda side every hour, with more than 180 vehicles per minute. K. Chandrasheker Reddy, ACP (Traffic), Madhapur, confirmed that 25% to 30% of the vehicles make a U-turn at the junction, causing congestion. The underpass, operational since September 17, is expected to reduce wait times and improve U-turn efficiency, benefiting commuters traveling to Kokapet, Narsingi, and the Financial District. Previously, vehicles had to wait at the junction, causing queues and slowing overall movement. The ACP plans to further optimize the junction with additional U-turn arrangements.",
  "summary": "Traffic police hope to eventually make the busy junction ‘waiting-free’, with additional U-turn arrangements planned to separate conflicting vehicle movements",
