Bengaluru Updates Mobility Plan as India Advances Access-Controlled Ring Roads Policy
Bengaluru is revising its Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) to address urban congestion by integrating multiple agencies and expanding focus to the metropolitan region, including satellite towns. The updated plan aims to relocate heavy traffic terminals outside the city to reduce congestion. Concurrently, India’s road transport ministry has introduced a policy to develop access-controlled ring roads and bypasses with distance-based tolling to maintain highway speeds and separate long-distance traffic from local movement, preventing unregulated roadside development.
