Falaknuma, Sultan Bazar, Asif Nagar Malakpet, Kachiguda, Nampally, and Basheerbagh are the areas where a higher number of violators reported. Speaking to THI, Anil Kumar, Addition CP (Traffic), said, "Due to lack of civic scene besides being in a hurry, commuters take right or U-turns even after the signal turns from green to red. Also, some of them drive very dangerously without obeying traffic rules and break the traffic laws. The violators are, especially, two-wheelers and trucks. The number of violations occurs in the night time and during peak hours."
