During peak hours, around 130 vehicles pass through this junction every minute, noted an official from Byatarayanapura Traffic Police Station explaining the problems at KSRTC junction on Mysuru Road. This is one of the four points identified on Mysuru Road as accident black spots by the Bengaluru Traffic Police (BTP).
The up-and-down ramp at BB junction, a 600-metre stretch from AS Char Street to Jamia Masjid on the BGS flyover, and Nayandahalli junction, are three other identified black spots. A total of 55 accidents, including 19 fatal ones, have occurred at these four points on Mysuru Road in the last three years (2020 to 2022). Starting from Town Hall in the middle of the city, it is one of the busiest roads in Bengaluru. The highway also sees a lot of heavy motor vehicles and bus movement every day.
