Bengaluru Mysuru Expressway: KSRTC issued special guidelines for buses

The Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has issued several guidelines for bus drivers plying on the Bengaluru Mysuru Expressway to avoid accidents. Drivers have been advised not to exceed the speed of 80 km per hour to cover the 118 km distance between Mysuru to Bengaluru.

KSRTC buses have also been instructed to travel on the left 2 lanes to facilitate overtaking of fast moving vehicles. KSRTC bus drivers have been advised to keep an eye on the side view mirrors and use the indicators compulsorily while changing lanes and taking turns.

ADGP (traffic and safety) Alok Kumar told bus drivers to be careful at the 25 black spots identified along the expressway. Alok Kumar also tweeted on this issue and suggested that bus drivers should maintain lane discipline. The traffic police department had imposed a speed limit of 100 kmph in July to prevent accidents on the expressway.

The police had earlier said that speeding and extremely slow moving vehicles were the main reason for the increase in the number of accidents on the highway. From August 1, bikes, autos and other slow vehicles like tractors and other vehicles are not allowed to use the main lanes of the expressway. These vehicles are allowed to travel only on service roads.
