1/7

Bengaluru’s patchwork repairs don’t hold

Temporary patches often disappear after a few days, leaving potholes exposed once more and forcing commuters to navigate unsafe stretches repeatedly.

2/7

Hidden dangers on Bengaluru roads

Poor lighting and faded markers make potholes hard to spot at night, increasing the chances of accidents and vehicle damage across the city.

3/7

Bengaluru’s persistent road hazards

Potholes resurface quickly, especially during rain, making roads unsafe and frustrating drivers who face the same risks again and again.

4/7

Disrupted commutes due to Bengaluru’s craters

Large and sudden potholes force drivers to slow down or swerve, leading to traffic jams and heightened risks on Bengaluru’s busy streets.

5/7

Bengaluru’s infrastructure under strain

With roads damaged by potholes, transport efficiency suffers, slowing down services and complicating daily life for commuters and logistics operations.

6/7

Quick fixes, lasting problems

Repairs using cement or sand are often temporary solutions that fail under pressure from traffic and weather, allowing potholes to return within days.
