摘要：One of the well known residential neighbouring hoods in south Bengaluru is BTM Layout. The place isconnected by Hosur Road, Bannerghatta Road and Outer Ring Road. The location of BTM Layout is such that it has agood connectivity to many important locations in south Bengaluru such as Jayanagar, Banashankari, J P Nagar,Bannerghatta, Electronic City, Madivala and Koramangala. Because of its location and good connectivity the burden oftraffic on the Outer Ring Road (ORR) is very high. Due to the high volumes of vehicular movement frequent delays oflong durations are common.The current study was focused on one of the important stretches of ORR between JayadevaHospital Intersection and Silk Board Intersection. To assess the congestion issues traffic volume survey and roadinventory survey were carried out and it was observed that in addition to the traffic volume being high, poor pedestrianinfrastructure and poor road geometry were adding to the traffic woes preventing free flow. From the survey dataexisting road condition, peak hour traffic, LOS along the study stretch was analysed. Various mitigation measures wereidentified, the first one being redesigning of the traffic signal timings. A number of trails were done to examine theeffectiveness of signal optimization technique using VISSIM – a traffic simulation software. Other recommendationsinclude change in junction design and measures to enhance the pedestrian safety.
