Bends and curves make Yeshwanthpur Flyover one of the most accident-prone within the town
When you might be using at the Yeshwanthpurflyover (from IISc aspect), The flyovers snakes against the left aspect and chances are you could lose regulate of your car. Probably, that is why why this flyover is among the most accident-prone flyovers within the town. Experts say that the design of the flyovers which might be usually linear in nature isn’t the case in Yeshwanthpur junction. As this flyover bends against left, motorists generally tend to lose regulate. Finally, several injuries later, the police are preserving a meeting with BBMP officials day after today to fix the flyover. But, the massive question is-can it be rectified in any respect?

Added to this, the BMTC buses had to take a detour (by way of Sandal cleaning soap factory) to succeed in the Yeshwanthpur bus stand which was just reverse of the junction. Hence, the BBMP and BMTC took up development of 2 flyovers. While the BBMP built a curved flyover alongside the Yeshwanthpur-Tumkur road, BMTC built a parallel flyover to lend a hand the BMTC buses go to the bus stand and the depot (Even BMTC flyover is a pedestrian’s nightmare as many lives were lost). Now, this curved flyover has been the reason for a couple of injuries.
Speaking toBangalore Mirror, a traffic police officer admitted, “The turning at the flyover is just too sharp. Speeding automobiles frequently lose regulate over the wheels whilst taking a turn right here. The higher officials have asked us to visit the spot along side the engineer and publish the report back to the BBMP on Monday to come up with the way to save you such injuries in the future”. The police have tried each and every trick; from laying humps (ahead of the beginning of the flyover) to exhibiting signal boards however the night time traffic on this flyover is a challenging one. On October 22, 2018, a container car over became at the flyover and an SUV passing via the truck had a mere get away.
While a BBMP Official who finished the Yeshwanthpur flyover undertaking mentioned, “The flyover was made in a bid to ease traffic congestions. Constructing a flyover there was essential. It was a problem making the flyover because it was designed to be at 90 degrees, however we did it. According to the design, the velocity prohibit is only 30km per hour. Over dashing isn't an choice right here. To deter over dashing, we have built a velocity breaker just ahead of the flyover begins.”
Why wasn’t the flyover made in a linear type? “A immediately flyover would go the Yeshwanthpur Railway station and acquiring that land wouldn’t be possible. So, we chose this way,” mentioned BBMP reliable.
“The flyover has no correct visibility. When one travels from the CV Raman road, we cannot see how the flyover turns. Visibility could be very
necessary for a commuter to pass judgement on the velocity one has to take. The road edges will have to be marked so drivers know the place the road is leading at night time. The flyover will have to also be secured with guard rails, so if a vegicle loses regulate, it wouldn’t topple off, it will act like a safety barrier. And most significantly, a road protection audit will have to be performed via an authorized road auditor,” mentioned Ashish Verma, Associate Professor of shipping System Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science.

Sunday morning horror in Yeshwanthpur
Two men had been killed after a truck carrying a load of unpolluted mushrooms lost its regulate whilst creating a turn and falling off the Yeshwanthpur flyover on Sunday morning.

The police have shifted the our bodies to MS Ramaiah sanatorium for postmortem.
While the police had been busy shifting the truck and clearing the traffic, the public had been found pushing each and every different to grab the recent mushroom from the truck.
A senior officer mentioned that the Kenchegowda was using the car in rash and negligent method and lost the regulate whilst taking a sharp turn at the flyover. He mentioned that the police officials were recommended to find a way to the flyover turning and to come up with important precautions along side BBMP, to stop such incidents in long run.
In a similar incident in Nov 2018, a mini truck carrying poultry chickens fell off the flyover from the similar spot however fortuitously all three other people together with the motive force escaped with accidents.

Long ago, the road from IISc would immediately move against the Tumkur road. However, with Yeshwanthpur turning into a railway station, the road was bent left wards to make a detour to the Yeshwanthpur Railway Station, to succeed in Tumkur Road. As the traffic increased, the Yeshwanthpur Junction congested.
Added to this, the BMTC buses had to take a detour (by way of Sandal cleaning soap factory) to succeed in the Yeshwanthpur bus stand which was just reverse of the junction. Hence, the BBMP and BMTC took up development of 2 flyovers.
