The new Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway has witnessed 308 fatal and non-fatal accidents, resulting in 100 deaths and leaving over 300 people injured.
The 118-km-long expressway was inaugurated on March 12, 2023. The six-lane expressway reduces the travel time between Bengaluru and Mysuru from three hours to 75 minutes.
But the increase in number of accidents has forced the authorities to bring in several restrictions and safety measures.
The recent one is the ban on slow-moving vehicles in the expressway from August 1. What do motorists feel about this?
While the authorities have made some moves, will it make driving safer? We also look at some of the main causes of the accidents.
