Two-wheelers will continue to use the Kempegowda International Airport elevated road and Electronics City Elevated Corridor while Bengaluru Traffic Police assesses congestion and safety.

Bengaluru has paused restrictions on two-wheelers on the KIA elevated road. Electronics City will initially restrict only goods vehicles from September 11.

Two-wheelers can continue using the Kempegowda International Airport elevated road after the government paused a ban that had taken effect on September 4.

Priyank Kharge said diverting goods vehicles, two-wheelers and autorickshaws together to service roads at entry points had created traffic conflicts, queues and congestion.

Existing time-based restrictions on goods vehicles will remain during morning and evening peak hours on the Airport Road elevated corridor. Bengaluru Traffic Police has asked riders to use the left lane, follow lane discipline, avoid risky overtaking and stay within the 60 kmph speed limit.

On the Electronics City Elevated Corridor, where restrictions were due to begin on September 11, the first phase will apply only to goods vehicles. Two-wheelers will remain permitted for now.

Bengaluru Traffic Police will monitor traffic flow, road safety, enforcement at entry points and conditions on adjoining surface roads before deciding on further restrictions.
