There are a few hotels as well. Traffic jams and unsystematic vehicle parking are serious problems in this area. In July 2015 Bangalore city traffic police marked the road as a "model" road, and disallowed vehicles anywhere in the road other than a few designated parking areas. Right after that business and selling in the area reportedly decreased by 30-50%, as people were reluctant to walk extra. However, the residents of that area found this traffic rule useful. This also affected the Iftar celebration of this year.
