Official NHAI Ban on 2-Wheelers and Auto-Rickshaws
Under Section 115 of the Motor Vehicles Act 1988, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) have officially prohibited two-wheelers (motorcycles, scooters, mopeds), three-wheelers (auto-rickshaws, e-rickshaws), non-motorized vehicles, and agricultural tractors from entering the access-controlled main 10-lane carriageway of the Bengaluru–Mysuru Expressway (NH 275).
The restriction was implemented following accident analyses showing that high-speed differential traffic (vehicles moving at 100 km/h colliding with slow-moving 40–50 km/h two-wheelers) accounted for over 65% of corridor fatalities. Two-wheeler riders and auto-rickshaws must use the toll-free, two-lane paved service roads that run continuously along both sides of the expressway.

Automated AI Speed Radar Cameras & e-Challan Traps
The Karnataka State Police and NHAI have activated an Advanced Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) featuring 60+ Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras and Doppler speed radar sensors mounted along gantries at Kengeri, Bidadi, Ramanagara, Channapatna, Maddur, Mandya, and Srirangapatna.
Any private car exceeding 100 km/h triggers an automated digital snapshot. The system automatically queries the Vahan vehicle registry and dispatches an e-challan SMS with photographic proof and fine payment links directly to the vehicle owner. Repeat violations result in driver license suspension recommendations under Karnataka Transport Department guidelines.
