Hi,
Attempts to make the city more pedestrian-friendly by building more foot-over-bridges (FOB) seem have come on collision course with the Hyderabad Metro Rail project, as a few locations identified for the former are on the metro corridors.

The places where the proposed FOBs clash with the metro rail are Sangeet Junction, RTC crossroads, Lakdikapul, Paradise Junction, KPHB, L B Nagar (ring road), Saroor Nagar, Abids, MJ Market and SD Eye Hospital.

Yeh,
The GHMC too is very keen on finishing the project at the earliest. It would cost anywhere between Rs 25 lakh to Rs 50 lakh. This particular project is on the priority list for the GHMC, and they will soon begin it.

Yeah I know about those two zones. So in the West zone, we have the spots Jubilee Hills Check Post towards Road No.2 in Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills Check Post towards Road No.45 in Jubilee Hills, Road No. 1/12 junction in Banjara Hills and the Paradise Junction. There are not that many spots in the south zones, as it is not as accident prone as the other parts of the city. The Sadan-KV Rangareddy College bus stop is the only spot in the south zone, which is a proposed FOB spot.

Hey I know a bit about the proposed foot over bridge spots in the central zone of the city. These are the ones - RTC X Roads, Ashoknagar X Roads, Children’s Park at Chikkadpally, Big Bazar at GPO, Abids, Chermas at Abids, Street No. 6 and 9 of Himayatnagar, Liberty Junction, Lucky Hotel to Intelligence Office, Lakdikapul and Ayodhya Junction, MJ Market-Syndicate Bank to Karachi Bakery. Also, does anybody have any idea about the other zones, i.e. the east and the south zone?

Hey, not just in the Cyberabad area, but there are going to be many more foot over bridges throughout the city. In fact I have that the total number of new foot over bridges that have to be built is 38. I know about the north and the west zones. The proposed FOB spots in north zones are Sangeet Croosroads, Rathifile Bus Stop, Chitra Dargah, Sreekar Upkar, Bowenpally junction and Tadbund junction, while those in the west zone are Jubilee Hills Check Post towards Road No.2, Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills Check Post towards Road No.45, Jubilee Hills, Road No. 1/12 junction, Banjara Hills and Paradise Junction.

Yeah, I’ve heard the same. Apparently there is going to be 13 new foot over bridges over here in Cyberabad only. The pedestrians hardly ever use the zebra crossings while crossing the roads, and thats why they get hit by all these vehicles. Also the traffic regulation is not good. In a few cases the vehicles have even hit pedestrians trying to cross the road using the zebra crossing. Anyway, the foot over bridges have been proposed at major busy spots, like the Kukatpally bus stop, Nizampet, Moosapet, KPHB bus stop, Miyapur, Wipro Circle, VR Nagar in Madhapur, Chandanagar, Narsapur Crossroad, LB Nagar ring road, Saibaba temple, Saroornagar and Ashtalakshmi temple in LB Nagar.

Yes, even I came to know of this news just a couple of days back. Basically there have been a number of road accidents, and the rates are just rising up. Its mostly the pedestrians who have gotten injured, and in some cases even fatal ones. They try to cross these busy roads and are mostly run over or hit by the speeding vehicles. I think thats why the Cyberabad Commissionerate asked the GHMC to increase the number of foot over bridges in the Cyberabad district especially. But I’m sorry, I don’t know about the exact locations, anybody have any more details on this?
