Bengaluru expands phased traffic restrictions on flyovers

Overview

The Bengaluru Traffic Police have expanded phased vehicle restrictions across five major flyovers and elevated corridors to improve road safety and reduce congestion. While restrictions on the BGS, Peenya, and Double Decker flyovers are already operational, Minister Priyank Kharge announced new measures for the International Airport Road and Electronic City elevated corridors.

On the International Airport Road elevated corridor, spanning from Sanjeevini Nagar Cross to Vidyashilpa Junction, restrictions on goods vehicles remain in place, but two-wheelers and auto-rickshaws are now permitted. To ensure order, police have advised motorcyclists to use left lanes, maintain discipline, avoid dangerous overtaking, and adhere to a 60 km/h speed limit.

Phased restrictions targeting goods vehicles are scheduled to begin on the Electronic City elevated corridor starting September 11, 2026, aiming to prevent traffic conflicts and congestion on lower-level roads. These developments follow earlier reports of increased travel times on service roads and a request from Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar for public input on broader solutions like tunnel roads.
