Government Focuses on Traffic Decongestion
Bengaluru is among India's fastest-growing metropolitan regions and faces severe congestion on several major roads during peak hours.

The government expects the network to improve traffic flow and reduce travel time on important routes connecting residential, commercial and employment centres.
