Residents in Bengaluru report spending about half an hour just to leave their homes due to worsening traffic congestion. The situation highlights growing mobility challenges in the city.
Many Bengaluru residents say they are stuck inside their housing complexes for roughly thirty minutes before they can reach the main roads. This delay occurs during morning peak hours when traffic volume is at its highest.
The prolonged wait to exit residential areas points to increasing pressure on the city's road network, with commuters describing long queues at society gates and narrow access lanes.
In response, some citizens have started leaving home earlier than usual, while others are exploring alternate routes or using public transport where available. Community groups have urged local authorities to improve traffic management and infrastructure.
Although no official statistics have been released, the consistent citizen feedback suggests that the traffic bottleneck at residential exits is a recurring issue that needs urgent attention.
