Officials inspect one-way system around Hyderabad’s KBR Park; lane markings, pelican signals likely at pedestrian crossing points
Hyderabad officials are refining a new one-way traffic system around KBR Park to reduce congestion. The plan includes road widening, improved lane markings, and the installation of pelican signals to enhance pedestrian safety.
Why it matters
Urban infrastructure improvements are critical for managing rapid population growth and traffic density in major metropolitan hubs like Hyderabad.
The proposed one-way traffic system around KBR Park in Hyderabad will be fine-tuned after officials identified narrow stretches causing bottlenecks during a recent trial run, the city Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar said on Wednesday (July 15, 2026).
Mr. Sajjanar, along with Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Commissioner R.V. Karnan and other senior officials inspected the roads around the park for nearly two hours from 7 a.m. The team covered around five kilometres and reviewed traffic movement at Agrasen Junction, Film Nagar, Journalist Colony, Jubilee Hills Road No. 45, Jubilee Hills Check Post and the park’s main entrance.
The officials directed the GHMC to widen select narrow stretches to address peak-hour congestion. They also decided to introduce distinct lane markings and pelican signals at pedestrian crossing points to improve safety.
