The police also plan to implement advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and Internet of Things (IoT)-based solutions to optimise traffic flow, reduce congestion, and enhance overall safety. Educational initiatives are also a key focus, with efforts directed towards raising awareness about road safety, responsible driving, and the consequences of traffic violations. School programs, workshops, and social media campaigns are part of the holistic approach to ensure a well-informed community.

MN Anucheth, Joint Commissioner of Police, Traffic, told Bangalore Mirror that they have suggested the IT companies and parks to have staggered timings. “However, this is completely voluntary. IT parks can encourage employees to use public transport or provide a shared transport facility. Right now, even at a 50% capacity, the roads are clogged. If the capacity rises to 60-65%, the situation cannot be handled,” he said. ​

Since 1985, civilians have assisted the Bangalore Traffic Police during peak hours. With approximately 800 wardens currently involved, it is estimated that only 500 of them are now active. The Traffic Warden Organisation intends to improve their numbers to 1,000 initially, with gradual plans to increase this figure to 5,000. This significant influx of 5,000 traffic wardens would enable civilians to make a substantial contribution to the efforts of the Bangalore Traffic Police. ​

Companies are advised to start work at 8 am and plan their staff exit in a phased manner between 2 pm and 6 pm.

In a comprehensive breakdown of the statistics, it emerges that over the same period, the traffic police had recommended licence suspensions for a whopping 9,260 individuals. Of this large number, 2,016 have faced the consequence of having their licences suspended.
