Hyderabad traffic police explore new one-way systems in Cyberabad IT corridor and Lakdikapul

The proposed measures are aimed at reducing conflicting traffic movements at busy junctions, cutting waiting times and improving peak-hour mobility. Three major developments are currently in focus.

The one-way traffic arrangement around KBR Park was introduced on August 18, 2026, under the Hyderabad City Innovative and Transformative Infrastructure (H-CITI) project. It covers important stretches around the park, including Jubilee Hills Road No. 45, Film Nagar, Journalist Colony, Jubilee Hills Check Post and Banjara Hills.

The system was introduced to streamline vehicle movement and reduce traffic conflicts along these busy stretches.

Cyberabad Traffic Police are examining a proposal to introduce a one-way loop connecting Biodiversity Junction, IKEA Rotary, Raheja Mindspace C-Gate, Knowledge City and Dallas Centre. The proposed route will pass through My Home Bhooja before reconnecting with Biodiversity Junction.

The plan is intended to address congestion at four major bottleneck junctions in the IT corridor, which experiences heavy traffic during peak office hours.

Before implementing the proposal, traffic authorities will undertake simulations and consult IT companies and other stakeholders. The system is expected to be introduced in phases, subject to the outcome of these assessments and consultations.

Meanwhile, Hyderabad Traffic Police, in coordination with the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), will conduct a one-day trial of a proposed one-way traffic system in the Lakdikapul area on November 22.

The proposed arrangement covers the Ravindra Bharathi–Lakdikapul–Iqbal Minar corridor. Under the revised plan, vehicles travelling from Old Control Room towards Iqbal Minar will be diverted through HDFC Junction, Old Saifabad Police Station and Iqbal Minar.

Similarly, traffic moving from Nirankari Junction towards Old Control Room will follow a revised route through Old Saifabad Police Station and Iqbal Minar.

The trial will help traffic authorities assess the effectiveness of the proposed arrangement. A decision on permanent implementation will be taken based on the trial results and feedback from the public.

The three initiatives reflect an increasing emphasis by traffic authorities on redesigning traffic movement at congested junctions rather than relying only on conventional traffic regulation.

While the KBR Park arrangement is already operational, the Cyberabad proposal is undergoing planning and stakeholder consultations, and the Lakdikapul system will first be tested through a one-day trial.

Motorists travelling through these areas have been advised to follow official traffic advisories and watch for diversion signs, particularly during the Lakdikapul trial on November 22.
