The convoy will begin from Brigade Millenium in JP Nagar 7th Phase and snake through several parts of Jayanagar.

The roadshow will end at 18th Cross Junction on Sampige Road after passing through Malleswaram.
Priority will be given to emergency vehicles such as ambulances and public vehicle movement will be managed before the roadshow begins, Dr Suman Pennekar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), West Division, told DH. "We will post officers along the route to ensure diversions are given to people wherever possible, keeping their convenience in mind."
Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) M N Anucheth noted that diversions would be dynamic. Roads through the route will not be completely blocked and will be opened to traffic as soon as the convoy passes through them, he said.
“People should plan in advance to avoid the roads but if getting on these roads is inevitable, they might experience delays and have to take alternative routes,” he told this reporter. He added that the police would strive to minimise public inconvenience as much as possible.
