Motorists Face Challenges Due to LED Lighting at Magadi Road Underpass in Bengaluru

Bengaluru’s Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has faced backlash over its Rs 2.5-crore LED lighting project at the Magadi Road underpass, designed to enhance urban aesthetics. While the project intended to create a visually appealing atmosphere through bright, geometric LED strip lights—similar to those in cities like Dubai and Hyderabad—motorists and bikers report that the intense glare created by the lights significantly hampers visibility, making nighttime driving perilous. Commuters have expressed frustration, questioning the decision to invest heavily in decorative lighting rather than addressing pressing infrastructure issues such as potholes and waterlogged roads. Mobility experts have criticized the focus on aesthetics over safety, highlighting the potential for accidents due to glare and distraction. BBMP officials maintain that the project aims to modernize the urban landscape, despite concerns regarding practicality and public safety.
