| ![]() Get an automatic transmission, believe me you will feel blessed. You can add learner drivers, water tankers and poultry trucks to the mix. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hebbal inbound to city was a dream today at 0900. I actually hit the entry ramp doing 60 in D6 :-). Overall North BLR traffic was pretty peaceful throughout the day. |

| ![]() Got challaned today below the elevated tollway for travelling at 72kmph. The speed limit there is 60kmph. Fine was 300/-. It's rare I get to drive freely while crossing Bangalore and then this happens. The regular traffic jam would've been easier on my pocket. My heart goes out to Bangaloreans. |

| ![]() They are usually stationed in front of Navnit motors towards EC side and in front of Keys hotel towards Madiiwala side. I see a lot of 2W and cars from outside KA getting challaned at these spots. The policemen attached to the interceptor are rowdy sort of with lathi weilding and throwing their weight around. |

| ![]() Among the continually disaffected commuters of Bangalore, the commuters on this route will have a wonderful start for 2018. |

| ![]() To be fair, they are enforcing traffic rule and trying to maintain discipline. Most of the times, I see them flagging helmetless riders, picking up two wheelers and occasional cars from no parking areas. In case they start targeting rest of the traffic for violations, they will easily cross 500 crores. |

I did not say hooliganism. Nor did I mention putting anyone at risk. If one were to break traffic rules in western countries, the driver, if he does not pull over and stay put in the car, risks getting shot by cops if he tries anything funny. Compared to that traffic enforcement / fines here is joke. I wish the Govt. passes the motor vehicle bill where the fines run into thousands. Last edited by AltoLXI : 31st December 2017 at 12:59. | |

| ![]() The white topped ORR between Hennur and Horamavu is opened for traffic. It seems quite a decent quality with proper sloped joints where the cement road merges with existing tar roads. Meanwhile on the opposite side, the stretch from royal Concorde school and kammanahalli junction is closed. |
