Cyberabad roads gets riskier in 2025 as accident numbers surge
HYDERABAD: Despite new traffic management systems and citizen-focused initiatives, Cyberabad saw a surge in road accidents in 2025. Although deadly crashes dipped slightly, the sharp rise in non-fatal and non-injury accidents highlights ongoing struggles with road safety and congestion.
In 2025, Cyberabad recorded 4,608 total road accidents, up from 3,829 in 2024. Fatal accidents decreased from 856 to 803. Non-fatal accidents increased from 2,281 to 2,827, and non-injury accidents rose from 692 to 978.
“The data suggest that while fewer accidents proved deadly, the overall frequency of collisions has grown, particularly those causing injuries and property damage,” said Cyberabad Joint Commissioner of Police Traffic Dr. Gajarao Bhupal.
Pedestrians and two-wheeler riders once again faced the greatest danger on Cyberabad’s roads. Pedestrians made up 33.53% of road deaths, and two-wheeler riders made up 52.82%. These vulnerable groups accounted for more than 86% of all fatalities in 2025, making the call for focused safety measures more pressing.
The category listed as “Other Reasons” was responsible for 63.76% of fatal accidents in 2025, up from 45.91% in 2024. Several specific causes saw improvement. Self-accidents dropped from 29.56% to 21.41%. Driving in the opposite direction fell from 7.17% to 3.88%, and driving under the influence of alcohol decreased from 4.70% to 2.82%.
Cyberabad Traffic Police Initiatives
Despite the rise in accidents, the Cyberabad Traffic Wing implemented several innovative programs, explained Dr. Gajarao Bhupal. He further added that Cyberabad Traffic Pulse, a real-time traffic intelligence platform, saw its user base grow from 1,053 to 30,700 subscribers and provided alerts on congestion, weather, and breakdowns. The Reverse Lane System was introduced during peak hours at key IT corridors such as the PJR Flyover and Khajaguda Junction to ease congestion. “The Traffic Marshals Program expanded from 95 to 172 marshals deployed across high-traffic zones through a public-private partnership with SCSC and corporate sponsors. Signal-Free Junctions were created at 15 major intersections, including Suchitra, Bio-Diversity, and Aramghar, to improve traffic flow,” said Dr. Gajarao Bhupal.
