Bengaluru-Chennai Expressway bans certain vehicles following accidents
Karnataka Police have banned two-wheelers, auto-rickshaws, and tractors from parts of the Bengaluru-Chennai Expressway after a spike in deadly accidents—over 15 lives lost in just three months. The most recent crash near Hedaginabele toll plaza claimed two more lives, pushing authorities to take stricter action.
Why you shouldn't mix fast and slow on this road
The expressway is built for high speeds (up to 120km/h), so slow-moving vehicles like bikes and autos just aren't safe here. Even though there was already a rule against them, it wasn't really enforced until now. Police are stepping up checks and reminding everyone to stick to speed limits and safety rules.
A look at the expressway
This expressway isn't just any road—it's a key link between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, helping people and goods move faster between states. By keeping slower vehicles off the highway, officials hope travel will be safer and smoother for everyone.
