The railways will have to build the underpasses in the first phase and construct the portion of the flyover, above the tracks, in the second phase.Let’s foresee the future traffic problem and take steps to prevent it now. Refer the enclosed image below for clarity. I propose a “Y” shaped underpass be built at both the entrances in a manner that would avoid the traffic signal altogether and allow the main traffic to flow at a normal pace. ![]() ![]() This will cause vehicle movement to slowdown the entire traffic flow on Baiyappanahalli Road. The police will advocate a traffic signal at both entrances. In a short period of time, a situation will arise due to traffic congestion or accidents. At both the terminal entrances, the provision will be made for the vehicles to reverse direction (i.e. A median will be built to separates the traffic flow in opposite directions. The existing Baiyappanahalli road in front of the terminal is being widened. In this article, I put together these ideas that could possibly solve the problem of efficient terminal access and traffic flow at the Banaswadi end. If the government, traffic police and the planning departments do not rise to the challenges with a long-term perspective and with a sense of urgency, Bengaluru’s mobility issues could move from a nightmare to a living hell in a short period of time. With the completion of the Baiyappanahalli Railway Terminal, the traffic in the area is set to increase multiple times. ![]() While the city’s Revised Master Plan 2031 is yet to take shape, the Baiyappanahalli Railway Terminal and its surrounding complex are already underway. Its earlier 2017 draft was withdrawn by the state government in July 2020. In November 2020, the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) had sought new suggestions from the public to prepare the Revised Master Plan 2031 for the Bangalore Metropolitan Area. Proposed Master Plan of the upcoming Baiyappanahalli Railway Terminal which is expected to be inaugurated in February 2021.
