Bengaluru: Despite the ban on the movement of two- and three-wheelers, tractors, autorickshaws and non-motorised vehicles on the main carriage of the access-controlled Bengaluru-Mysuru highway, a netizen has claimed that motorcycles enter the stretch using a service road and avoid the toll plaza.
Raghuram BH, a resident of Bengaluru, on Monday, posted on the social media platform X that motorcyclists were entering the part of the highway a little after the Hosadoddi village in Karnataka’s Ramanagara district.
“Sir this is on Bengaluru – Mysuru Expressway,” Raghuram posted. “Heard two wheelers are prohibited. They enter the expressway through service roads avoiding toll plaza. @alokkumar6994 pls do the needful sir. Location has been attached sir.”
