As Mumbai’s long-awaited Coastal Road opens partially, commuters face confusion over which turns to take, leading to unexpected detours and last-minute route changes. Traffic officials are now issuing fines to drivers making U-turns after mistakenly heading towards the Coastal Road.
The Coastal Road, meant to ease traffic along Mumbai’s western coast, has promised smoother commutes. But it has brought unforeseen challenges. Many drivers, trying to access the old route, end up making wrong turns and causing chaos at the entrance of Coastal Road.
