Months after diverting traffic under the Biodiversity Junction, the Cyberabad Traffic Police has moved its experiment to the IKEA Rotary to manage the traffic congestion during peak hours. It has reduced the size of the rotary by over 12 feet to allow traffic coming Cyber Towers towards IKEA Rotary to take a U-turn at the IKEA Rotary. The rotary was about 40-50 feet in radius earlier. Commuters had to take a U-turn from almost close to the biodiversity junction to go towards Durgam Cheruvu Cable Bridge.
However, the task is not fully done. “The traffic situation is better than before. However, the volume remains high. Moreover, people are still not fully aware of the restrictions in place and often end up going on the wrong route,” said Rajkumar, an officer from Raidurgam Traffic Police manning the traffic at IKEA Rotary.
