Shopping centres
There are a large number of shopping centres, retain outlets, eateries and stalls in this street. Because of having so many eateries and restaurants the place is also known as "Foodies' paradise". There are a few hotels as well. Traffic jam 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.
