Bengaluru Traffic Police Adjusts Flyover Restrictions After Congestion Issues
Bengaluru Traffic Police introduced restrictions on two-wheelers, autorickshaws, and goods vehicles on major flyovers to improve road safety. However, these measures caused congestion and longer travel times, especially on the Airport Road Elevated Corridor, leading to a phased approach. Two-wheelers and autorickshaws are now allowed on the Airport Road and Electronics City flyovers, while goods vehicle restrictions continue. Traffic flow improved on other flyovers, but diversions have increased congestion on adjoining roads, prompting calls for better signage and management.
