Roads in the vicinity of the bus stand and railway station witnessed a gridlock. The heavy rush of vehicles in the Central parts had its impact on roads in surrounding areas.
The roads where vehicular movement slowed down included Mysore Road, K R Circle, Seshadripuram, Okalipuram, few stretches on Dr Rajkumar Road and Tumkur Road in Yeshwanthpur. Even several residential areas too witnessed gridlocks due to the festival rush.
The traffic police had tough time in ensuring smooth vehicular flow on all roads leading to Majestic. Vehicles were stranded on Kempe Gowda Road, JC Road, Platform Road, Seshadri Road, Goods Shed Road, Cottonpet Main Road and Mysore Road for some time.
Richmond Road, Rajarammohun Roy Road, Residency Road, Mahatma Gandhi Road and Brigade Road too witnessed traffic jams.
The ongoing Metro rail project also contributed its share to the traffic jam. More number of buses entered the roads as KSRTC and private operators plied additional buses.
