“Analysis on Bangalore Traffic”

Abstract: Bengaluru faces severe traffic congestion due to rapid urban growth and increasing vehicle numbers. This study analyzes public views on key causes of traffic issues, focusing on factors such as abrupt parking of vehicles, road encroachment, poorly planned roads, peak hours, and mixed-speed vehicle movement and congestion levels. Data was collected from 150 respondents using a Google Form and analyzed through SPSS using Descriptive Statistics, T-test, ANOVA, Chi-square, and Correlation. Our analysis is largely based on descriptive statistical tests. Results showed a high mean score (M = 3.82) for abrupt parking of vehicles as a cause of traffic problems, indicating strong agreement among respondents.Tests also showed no significant difference across demographic groups, but a significant positive relationship was found between road encroachment and lateness (p = 0.035). The study concludes that infrastructure and behavior-based issues, rather than demographics, are the major contributors to Bengaluru traffic problems and require better parking control and road management.
