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.

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
