It is a major transit point for traffic between the Hyderabad districts of Ameerpet, Banjara hills, Somajiguda and Khairtabad. Twin flyovers across the road junction ease the previously heavy traffic flow.[http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/panjagutta-flyover-opened/article1296144.ece Panjagutta flyover opened]
