Hyderabad Implements One-Way Traffic Around KBR Park, Causing Initial Congestion and Confusion
On August 18, 2026, Hyderabad police implemented a one-way traffic system around Kasu Brahmananda Reddy National Park to improve vehicle flow and support infrastructure projects. While the change aimed to reduce travel time, it caused significant congestion on surrounding roads and confusion among motorists, bus passengers, and pedestrians. Police deployed personnel to guide traffic, but pedestrians faced difficulties crossing roads, and some commuters experienced longer detours and disrupted routines during the initial hours of the new arrangement.
