 Traffic snarls occurred on several arterial roads of the city on Wednesday morning with normal life being affected as public faced tough time commuting through the flooded roads.

Traffic police reported heavy traffic, waterlogging on roads and slow-moving traffic at Dairy Circle Junction towards Hosur Main Road, Koramangala 80 feet road, Okalipuram Junction, Malleswaram Link Road, Mehkri Circle junction, Hudson Circle, Sony world junction, Queens road, Sadananda Nagar main road, ITPL Road, Mysuru road, Kalasipalya, V V Puram, Shankarpura, Hebbal circle, Chalukya junction, Marathalli, Domlur flyover, Kaggadaspura Main Road, Hebbal flyover, Sumanahalli outer ring road flyover, Tumkur road and other roads.

Traffic police were seen closing potholes on a few roads while managing traffic. The city traffic police stayed updated on twitter about traffic movement, snarls, potholes and waterlogged roads to help people take alternate routes.

Students and office-goers had a tough time reaching their destinations. Many took the Metro to avoid traffic jams. “Potholes are a major problem for two-wheelers. It is dangerous when they are overflowing and invisible,” said Tejas Jain, a commuter from Basaveshwara Nagar.
