  Traffic congestion and road accidents have become major issues in rapidly growing urban centres. Bangalore, being one of India’s fastest-growing cities, faces significant challenges in traffic management and road safety. This study investigates commuter awareness of traffic rules, analyses traffic congestion patterns, and evaluates the effectiveness of traffic management measures. Data was collected using a combination of a survey among 100 commuters and secondary data from Bangalore Traffic Police reports. The study finds gaps in public awareness, frequent traffic violations, and identifies key areas for improvement. Recommendations include enhanced awareness campaigns, better traffic monitoring, and promotion of public transportation to improve road safety and traffic flow.
