BIAL Bangalore BIAL magic boxes Roads to BIAL Analysis Sanjaynagar

The CBI junction magic box work has started. But from what I can make out, there is only one box that would come up at CBI junction. Most likely, that would be the case for SJN junction. Given that, traffic flow would most likely be as in the figure. Please note that road widens after SJN towards CBI.

Traffic from SJN towards mekhri would have to take U-turn at CBI magic box and similarly, traffic from RT nagar towards BIA would have to take U-turn at SJN magic box. But I really wonder if there would be enough space to take U-turns at these junctions.

Navshot, the figure clarified a few doubts. Thanks Any Idea what the widht of the Magix Box is? Is it the BDA junction width or the AnandNagar Width? If it as wide as the BDA junction I assume U turns should be not much of a problem.

looks good.

This looks like a good design. If the boxes are wide enough (to allow U turns) then the traffic flow should be quite smooth.

Wait at Kodigehalli is going to get prolonged further as another junction becomes signal free.

It will relieve the signal at D Rajagopal road junction

I hope the magic boxes are as big as the BDA junction magic box. If it is the size of Anandnagar, then it becomes useless.

Is there scope to file for RTI infromation about the width of these two magic boxes (BDA and Sanjanagar junction)? 

I'm atleast glad the signal near SJN will not exist. The other two hurdles are the Kodigehalli Signal and Yelahanka Signal.

CBI Jn Magic Box Width

Photoyogi - 24 June, 2008 - 01:55

When i last spoke to the engineers they had assured me that the CBI Jn Magic Box is going to be as wide or wider than BDA Jn (5.5m) The road section at CBI Jn is much wider than BDA Jn and supports wide service lanes that can handle traffic flow during the construction of the magic boxes. Anyways its time i point my camera in that area and chat with the engineers there. Will update soon -- Praveen Sundaram AkA PhotoYogi
