Hosur bars heavy vehicles from town between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.
The Story in Brief
The Hosur traffic police have barred heavy vehicles from entering the town between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. to reduce congestion. The diversion plan was announced after consultations with the Hosur Goods Transporters Association.
Hosur-bound heavy vehicles from Bagalur will be diverted to the Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR) via Perandapalli, heading to Krishnagiri, Chennai, Denkanikottai, Thally, Mysore, Anekal and other cities. Those coming from Krishnagiri must take the STRR via Perandapalli to Bagalur, Malur, Hoskote, Whitefield and Hyderabad.
Vehicles from Mathigiri junction and Denkanikottai bound for SIPCOT will go via Andhivadi junction to the inner ring road. Traffic from Salem will be diverted to the STRR from Bairamangalam. No heavy vehicles will be allowed from RC Church junction and Ashoka Pillar junction to Hosur, or via Muneeswarar Nagar to 100 ft road or past Agarwal Eye hospital junction.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The diversion order covers multiple entry points and routes, so compliance depends on drivers knowing their new path and on enforcement at junctions such as RC Church, Ashoka Pillar and Agarwal Eye hospital. The police have held consultations with the Hosur Goods Transporters Association, indicating that the changes are coordinated, but no penalty or start date beyond the 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. restriction window has been announced. Commuters and transporters will need to watch for how the diversions affect travel time on the Satellite Town Ring Road and inner ring road, particularly during peak hours.
