Bengaluru Traffic Police Enforce Vehicle Bans on Elevated Corridors
Bengaluru Traffic Police began enforcing vehicle bans on four elevated corridors Friday, including a two-wheeler restriction on the Airport Road flyover.
The Bengaluru Traffic Police on Friday began enforcing newly announced vehicle restrictions across four elevated corridors in the city, a move that led to visible frustration among commuters and significant slowdowns on key stretches.
The most notable measure applies to the Airport Road flyover, where two-wheelers are now prohibited. The other three elevated corridors face restrictions on different categories of vehicles, as per the traffic police's recent directive.
Field reports from the first day of enforcement described tense scenes, with motorists expressing anger over the sudden changes to their daily routes. Traffic movement on the affected corridors crawled during peak hours as vehicles adjusted to the new rules and police personnel managed diversions at entry points.
Commuters using two-wheelers on the Airport Road flyover were directed to alternative routes, adding to travel time for those heading toward the airport. The enforcement marks the start of a stricter regime aimed at managing congestion and improving safety on Bengaluru's elevated road network.
