Cyberabad Police has begun examining a one-way traffic system for parts of Hyderabad’s HITEC City and Biodiversity Corridor to ease peak-hour congestion, with a final decision dependent on a detailed traffic-flow study.
Cyberabad police commissioner Dr M. Ramesh led a field inspection with joint commissioner of police (Traffic) Sunpreet Singh, senior traffic police officials, representatives of the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation and the chief executive officer of the Society for Cyberabad Security Council. The team assessed traffic conditions along a stretch covering Biodiversity Junction, Mindspace Rotary, Times Square Road, Knowledge City Road, Qualcomm and Dallas Centre Road.
The inspection also included areas around IKEA, T-Works, Qualcomm and Dallas Centre Road. Officials reviewed traffic movement, road conditions and major conflict points to identify measures that could reduce congestion, minimise vehicle conflicts and improve movement through the corridor.
The proposed one-way arrangement would affect roads and junctions serving major office and commercial destinations, including T-Hub, IKEA, Knowledge City, Qualcomm and Biodiversity Junction. These locations form part of one of Hyderabad’s most concentrated employment and business districts, where traffic demand increases sharply during peak commuting periods.
Dr Ramesh directed officials to prepare a detailed report supported by a comprehensive traffic-flow study. The report will identify bottlenecks and conflict points and include visual documentation of the corridor. Officials have also been asked to carry out a block-wise assessment of buildings contributing to congestion.
That assessment will examine the estimated traffic impact of each building, the number of vehicles generated, the availability of parking and the capacity of parking facilities. The exercise places building-level vehicle generation and parking supply alongside road design and junction operations in evaluating whether a one-way system can work across the proposed corridor.
The involvement of RTC representatives and the Society for Cyberabad Security Council indicates that the review is being conducted with inputs from public transport and the private-sector business community. However, the source report does not specify whether the proposed arrangement would include changes to bus routes, pedestrian movement, signal timings or access for service and emergency vehicles.
Cyberabad Police has clarified that the proposal is still at a preliminary stage. No final implementation decision has been announced, and the one-way system has not yet been introduced. Alternative routes and other traffic arrangements will be decided only after the comprehensive study is completed.
The next formal step is the preparation of the traffic-flow report, including the assessment of bottlenecks, conflict points, building-generated traffic and parking capacity. The final decision on implementation will follow that study.
