JP Nagar Double-Decker Flyover Exit Reworked; 11th A Main Road Made One-Way Now

Commuters using the recently opened double-decker flyover in Bengaluru's JP Nagar will have to follow a new traffic arrangement, with the Traffic Police converting a key stretch of 11th A Main Road into a one-way street to ease congestion at the flyover exit.

The decision comes after authorities observed frequent traffic snarls at the junction where vehicles descending from the flyover merged with traffic heading towards it. During peak hours, the two-way movement on 11th A Main Road often resulted in bottlenecks, slowing traffic and creating long queues.

To address the issue, Bengaluru Traffic Police have introduced a one-way system on a 90-metre stretch of 11th A Main Road beginning from the 46th Cross intersection.

Under the revised arrangement, only vehicles coming down from the JP Nagar double-decker flyover will be allowed to enter this section of 11th A Main Road. Motorists approaching from the opposite direction will no longer be permitted to use the stretch to access the flyover.

Officials believe the change will streamline vehicle movement and reduce conflicts between vehicles entering and exiting the corridor.

The new rule affects one of the two roads that motorists encounter after descending from the flyover. At the end of the structure, traffic diverges towards 11th A Main Road and 11th B Main Road.

While 11th A Main Road will now operate as a one-way street on the designated stretch, there are no changes to 11th B Main Road, which will continue to allow two-way traffic movement.

Traffic police said the move is aimed at improving traffic flow around the flyover and preventing congestion from spilling over into surrounding residential roads.

The JP Nagar double-decker flyover has emerged as a key route for commuters travelling through south Bengaluru since its opening. However, the increased volume of vehicles using the corridor has also led to traffic management challenges at entry and exit points.

Authorities are expected to closely monitor traffic conditions in the coming days to assess the effectiveness of the new arrangement. Additional measures could be considered if congestion persists.

Motorists travelling through JP Nagar have been advised to watch for new traffic signs and follow the revised road rules to avoid violations and ensure smoother movement through the area.
