Ban on slow-moving vehicles on Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway likely to cause traffic snarls, increase risk of accidents on service roads, fear commuters

The Hindu  

As the National Highways Authority of India has banned two-wheelers, autos, and other slow-moving vehicles on the Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway from August 1, residents of villages and towns along the expressway fear that service roads, already plagued by several problems, is likely to face traffic snarls especially during peak hours and weekends. When The Hindu visited the expressway on Friday, there were already traffic snarls on the service roads near Bidadi, Ramanagara, and Mandya during peak hours. Now that the traffic will increase, post the ban, the width of the service roads is very small,” said Sridhar Kumar, a resident of Ramanagara and a regular commuter on the expressway. The hefty toll on the expressway has resulted in many fast-moving vehicles also taking to the service roads, adding to the traffic and danger on the service roads, said Krishnaswamy, a commuter from Bidadi.
