The northbound arm of the Coastal Road may help to reduce travel time, but traffic congestion at signals on the way to it remains a concern for commuters. It took mid-day seven minutes to travel 6 km from Marine Drive to Worli intersection, but getting from Fort to Marine Drive via Princess Street flyover, a distance of 2.5 km, took 20 minutes. Again, after the exit point, it took more than an hour to reach the collectorate office at Bandra East which was 9 km away.
