Bengaluru faces a worsening traffic situation, with Krishna Byre Gowda saying parked vehicles occupy about 60% of the city’s road space. Speaking at a meeting with former mayors at Vidhana Soudha, he argues that congestion is not solved by simply adding more roads.
Both accounts cite the same core point: the city must make better use of existing road space through disciplined parking. Byre Gowda calls for tighter regulation and enforcement of parking rules, rather than relying on road expansion alone. One report adds that he proposes setting up a dedicated enforcement agency to oversee parking compliance, while both stress that stronger implementation of existing laws is needed to address chronic civic problems affecting commuters.
The overall message across outlets is that parking practices and enforcement are major drivers of the traffic crisis, and that authorities need clearer oversight mechanisms to reduce road space lost to stationary vehicles.
