Illegal parking by 2 idiots caused public spend 20 mins to cross 0.5 km

Hi Hyderabad/Cyberabad Traffic Police,

Yesterday(23-Oct-2019) I was travelling from Basavatarakam Hospital to Jubilee Hills checkpost around 6.15pm. The whole stretch of 650m from Basavatarakam Hospital to KBR Park entry near RK Cinecomplex junction was totally choked.

It almost took me 20 minutes to cross the junction for just 1/2 KM.
Yes, 20 mins for 0.5 KM!

Reason for this, 2 idiots parked their cars on left side of the road. Just 2 cars caused inconvenience to 100s of commuters.

Illegal parking of cars by just 2 idiots

This stretch is already very narrow and has 2 lanes... means only 2 cars can go side-by-side. When one lane was occupied by illegal parking, rest of public suffer.

On 22-Oct-2019, I travelled on the same stretch around 5.30pm. I found that whole strech is occupied by cars. I wonder how Police allowed this, as usually they dont allow parking on road side even on the widest roads like KPHB-JNTU main road.

Request:
1. Please dont allow parking on the road on this stretch. If anyone parks his cars, please tow them immediatey.
2. Please forbid people blocking the free-left at RK Cinecomplex junction towards Jubilee Hill checkpost

Above the are very common things happening here causing traffic jam. Please look into it.

Two U-turns closed in Madhapur to make hyderabadis travel extra 2.5 kms

Last saturday (29-Jun-2019), I was going to Hanuman Temple next Madhapur Police station from Jubilee Hills.
Last week or so, I had taken the U-turn infront of IndusInd Bank which is 250m from the temple, effectively 500m drive to reach the temple from other side of the road.

But yesterday I found it was closed, then i went further as I know there is another U-turn near Bombay-Dyeing in 1/2 KM. But this too was closed.

What the hell !!??

Then I had to travel 650 meters more to the U-turn near in-front of Pace Hospitals. If this too was closed, I would have gone to CyberTowers junction.

Now just 600 meters distance became almost 3KMs which means extra 2.5KMs

I fail to understand the logic of Hyderabad Traffic police.

The commonsense is to distribute the traffic in alternate roads & U-turns. But here, they have closed 2 U-turns which causes the following

Makes people to travel extra 2.5 KMs
Increases traffic on these 1.25-1.25 KM stretch on both sides of the roads
More traffic leads more delays
Cascading effect
Encourages more people to flout rules and travel in wrong-direction (Yes! if one can travel in 500m in wrong directin, why should he travel 2.5Kms)

Dear Traffic Police! please withdraw this illogical closures.

Mitigation Plan

You can mitigate the issue by having a U-turn at Pillar number 43 infront of Centre for Organization Development. Here the divider is very wide with Green Lawn. A U-turn here wont cause much issue.

Edit (24-cot-2019)
2-3 weeks ago, i found that a u-turn was being built exactly the same location where i mentioned above 👍
but it should have built first and later those 2 u-turns should have been closed
