The idea of removing junctions and introducing U-turns across Hyderabad was aimed at facilitating the free flow of traffic and marked a determined effort to achieve signal-less commutes. Unfortunately, it has managed to achieve just the opposite – traffic congestion; minutes wasted navigating U-turns, and burning more fuel.
Road safety experts have long debated that this would only add to the problem, while some also blamed the bad driving etiquette of motorists. Whatever may be the reason, Hyderabadis today are forced to drive through a honking chaos of automobiles, taking the long way around.
