Two weeks since the Whitefield-KR Pura metro line opened to the public, police say traffic has eased in the tech hub but only just.
Special Commissioner of Police (Traffic) M A Saleem said vehicular congestion had reduced by 10 per cent on Whitefield Main Road which connects to the newly-opened metro line. “Once the missing link is established, we expect a 30 per cent reduction in traffic,” he said, referring to the KR Pura-Baiyappanahalli metro line.
Saleem noted that traffic signals along the main road have been removed, except the one at Hoodi. In addition, seven medians between Mahadevapura and Hope Farm have also been closed to prevent bottlenecks and ease traffic flow.
