Bengaluru Implements New Vehicle Restrictions on Five Flyovers to Enhance Safety
Bengaluru Traffic Police will impose new restrictions on five flyovers, including the Electronics City and International Airport Road Elevated Corridors, starting September 4 and 11. Two-wheelers and passenger autorickshaws will be banned on these corridors to improve safety and reduce congestion. Goods vehicles will face time-based curbs on the Electronics City flyover. The measures follow a detailed review of accident data and traffic flow and will be implemented initially on a trial basis with future assessments planned.
