On September 4, the residents of HSR Layout tweeted to the city traffic police about fixing the messy and dangerous gridlocks on 19th Main-11th Cross Road and 27th Main-7th Cross. Additional Commissioner of Police R Hithendra immediately responded that he would have the situation examined. The Traffic East police division was activated who, in turn, asked the HSR cops to look into the complaint.

Now the local traffic wing has promised to inspect the spots during peak hours and figure out ways to fix the gridlock and avoid accidents. “We asked the cops to take action as there have been accidents due to reckless speeding on 19th Main and 27th Main,” says Sector 1 resident Kavitha Reddy who had tweeted to the top cop. “We have suggested 15-metre road dividers and speed breakers for smooth flow of traffic, and to reduce road rage and accidents.”
