The frequent traffic jams along the southern stretch of the Coastal Road, especially inside the tunnel, have led to adjustments in the signal timings between Marine Drive and Air India building. Despite increasing the signal timings by 50 per cent, from 100 to 150 seconds, vehicles exiting the Coastal Road continue to face high traffic volume.

Since the southbound traffic on the Coastal Road between Worli and Marine Drive began on March 11, cars have been able to cover the 10 km distance in just 10 minutes. However, frequent traffic jams occur near the Marine Lines exit, with cars sometimes queuing for nearly 10 minutes inside the tunnel.
