New traffic rules in Bengaluru: No entry for two-wheelers on KIA and e-city elevated corridors; more restrictions on five flyovers
Bengaluru Traffic Police will ban two-wheelers from two major elevated corridors starting in September to improve safety and reduce accidents. Additional restrictions on other flyovers are also being implemented following a comprehensive data review.
Why it matters
The policy change directly impacts the daily commute of thousands of office workers and reflects ongoing urban planning challenges in rapidly growing cities.
Come September, two-wheelers will be banned on two major elevated corridors — Airport Road (towards KIA) and Electronics City — in Bengaluru, a move aimed at reducing accidents and improving traffic movement. The Bengaluru Traffic Police (BTP) has also announced restrictions on the movement of certain other categories of vehicles on five flyovers in the city.
According to the BTP, the decision follows a review of accidents on certain flyovers, particularly those attributed to variations in vehicle speeds. The restrictions on the BGS Flyover, Peenya Elevated Corridor, Double-Decker Flyover and Kempe Gowda International Airport Road Elevated Corridor will come into effect from September 4. Those on the Electronics City Elevated Corridor will be implemented from September 11.
