Cyberabad Police Plan Dedicated Carriageway From JNTU to Raidurgam

The Cyberabad Traffic Police are examining a proposal to set up a dedicated carriageway for IT employees and daily commuters travelling from JNTU towards Synchrony at Raidurgam Metro Station. The measure is being planned to ease severe weekday peak-hour congestion along the IT corridor, following a comprehensive review of traffic movement across Raidurgam and Gachibowli.

Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Sunpreet Singh recently inspected critical traffic arrangements in the Raidurgam and Gachibowli areas. The review focused specifically on U-turns, free-left movements, and key bottlenecks where multiple traffic streams merge or conflict. Traffic police officers conducted a field inspection of the route connecting JNTU with Synchrony at Raidurgam Metro Station, a stretch falling under the jurisdiction of the KPHB and Madhapur Traffic Police Stations.

Additional DCP (Traffic-I) G Hanumantha Rao stated that the separate carriageway proposal is intended to ensure smoother and safer transit for personnel heading towards the information technology hub. The road experiences heavy traffic from Monday to Friday, leading to frequent congestion and delays. Rao noted that local traffic officials are assessing the feasibility of the plan to reduce bottlenecks, prevent conflicts between vehicles heading to different destinations, and improve overall road safety.

Alongside the carriageway proposal, the Cyberabad Traffic Police have called on IT companies and corporate establishments in the area to overhaul their employee transport systems. During a stakeholder consultation with IT industry representatives, police identified key contributors to gridlock, including single-occupancy vehicles, concentrated peak-hour movements, and corporate cabs and auto-rickshaws idling on public roads outside office gates.

To address these issues, police asked companies to set up dedicated internal pick-up and drop-off bays within their campuses to keep commercial vehicles from blocking thoroughfares. Rao stated that several firms have already begun implementing this measure.

Authorities have also advised IT firms to implement staggered login and logout schedules to spread commuter flow over longer intervals. Additional recommendations presented to the tech sector include encouraging carpooling, providing priority parking for shared vehicles, and running centralised corporate buses from major residential clusters instead of operating multiple low-occupancy private shuttles.
