Bengaluru Imposes Vehicle Restrictions on Flyovers Amid Breakdown Concerns and Traffic Impact
Bengaluru authorities have imposed restrictions on two-wheelers, autos, and goods vehicles using several flyovers to address frequent vehicle breakdowns and improve road safety. Data shows over 3,300 breakdowns on three major flyovers between 2025 and 2026, prompting these measures. While aimed at reducing incidents, the restrictions have caused increased travel times, congestion, and confusion among commuters, especially during peak hours. Traffic police face challenges managing diversions, and some motorists report longer journeys due to these changes.
