Bengaluru Minister Highlights Parking Occupancy Impacting Traffic Congestion
Karnataka Minister Krishna Byre Gowda stated that about 60% of Bengaluru's road space is occupied by parked vehicles, worsening traffic congestion. He emphasized that building more roads alone won't solve the issue and called for stricter parking regulations enforced by a dedicated agency, as current civic and police resources are insufficient. Gowda also highlighted the need for micro-mobility options supported by usable footpaths and effective parking controls to improve traffic flow in the city.
