Traffic Woes Escalate at Ambalpady Junction Due to Parking Issues

Udupi: The ongoing construction of the overpass at Ambalpady Junction has resulted in severe traffic congestion, with all vehicles being diverted to the service road. The main cause of the bottleneck is the haphazard parking of vehicles along the service road, which is exacerbating traffic flow and posing safety risks.

Commuters often park their vehicles on the service road to shop at nearby stores, causing significant delays and obstruction. This situation is especially problematic for heavy vehicles, which face significant challenges maneuvering through the parked cars, leading to further congestion and an increased risk of accidents. Additionally, with vehicles traveling in both directions, the potential for collisions has surged.

The presence of commercial complexes, private hospitals, star hotels, and wedding halls in the area only adds to the congestion, as visitors frequently park along the service road, worsening the issue. An auto stand in front of a private hospital further disrupts the flow of traffic, contributing to the chaos.

Vishu Shetty Ambalpady, a local social worker, voiced his concerns, stating, “The service road has become the primary route for commuters, and people must exercise caution. The district administration should raise awareness about maintaining traffic flow. Improper parking creates jams and raises concerns for commuters.”

Shetty also called for public patience and cooperation during the ongoing construction phase. “The police should enforce speed limits on the service road, and heavy vehicle drivers must remain vigilant, especially with two-wheelers traveling in the opposite direction. It’s crucial for people to avoid parking on the road,” he added.
