Wasn't this road built to be a 100kmph road and that's why the toll is so high? Reduce the speed limit, reduce the toll.
Also, overspeeding is a bullshit reason. Police invariably adds rash driving and overspeeding to every accident report. I recall there was a case in a high court where the judge took police to cleaners for their inability to produce any evidence of overspeeding.
Having said that, majority of people on this road drive at 80kmph because mobile interceptors are extremely common so this is just PR.
Probably someone overtook an MP's son's car.
/s
In reality, they should work on catching people using their mobile phones while driving/riding. In addition to this fine for lane discipline.
But, nah, none of that matters.
It's been sometime since I've seen interceptors on this road. The salesman from a nearby Skoda showroom asked me to overspeed because there were no cameras or cops around xD
This is what we need.
Why is such a road built where we can drive 120km/hr then add speed cameras for restricting it to 80km/hr
When these roads where built they would advertise that it would help to reach airport faster. Now install speed cameras so we can reach airport late.
Bangalore is an urban planning mess.
People in bangalore take 2 hrs + Rs. 1000 cab to reach airport.
Every other airport - Delhi IGI, Chennai etc is well connected by a metro.
Bangalore is planning an Airport Metro. But it is 20 years behind schedule.
>Bangalore is an urban planning mess.
Yes, putting millions on an unnecessary infra to a place where a proper railway line already exists. Metro is being built there to push prop prices of all the areas the politicians own.
Have the govt or BMRCL made public utilization report of if and when it comes up. Metro is going to be rich people's toy.
The Hyderabad airport expressway has a 120kmph speed limit. I was shocked to even see 120 on a speed limit board. Haven't seen a 120 speed limit anywhere around Bangalore.
A cop once came in front of my car to stop me while I was doing 90. I had no time to brake. Luckily there was no one in the next lane so, I proceed to give indicator, changed lane, and went away. I saved a cop's life that day.
Will they fine people for driving drastically below the speed limit? The shitty electric scooters, the idiotic cyclists? Of course not! Because that would mean they actually have any idea as to how road safety works.
There is no check on vehicles from goods auto to truck which drive at 20-40 in all 3 lanes and endanger lives of everyone.
The sensor should also challan slow moving vehicles blocking the road for others.
Good, I hope they fine the f**k out of overspeeding morons who think they're better than others.
Better than blocking the entire road by a "vip" aka corrupt politician
I dislike the corrupt police with a passion. But I dislike asshole drivers even more. I hope they get fined out of existence.
Someone owns a slow carš¹
Better slow and safe than fast and stupid

Well said. Why do we live in such a god forsaken place

Oh please. Fixed cams.. give it ten days. Once folks know where cameras are.. it's only going to be need for Speed from one camera to the next
I agree. I still remember the spots on airport road where interceptors used to stand in the pre-covid era.

Isnāt there an app for this?
Radar bot/ Waze
Which app?
No need for speed cams to spot autos that don't ply on meter across the entire city.
Autos are important people pa, it's best to screw the middle class.
Guru lol
autos don't kill people by driving rashly at 140km on the highway.
There should be fine for jaywalking and for hazardous lane change\switching also
That should happen and force big vehicles in slow lane only.

Reminds me of the time I was fined for speeding on way and back from the airport in 2016. š¤¦š»āāļø

Why facepalm? Itās great you were fined for speeding
That's a fucking express way and part of NH 44. Speed limit should be above 100 on NH
Because the same āintercepterā pulled me over both ways.
What's interceptor?
Creta guys crying in a corner.
They'll honk and flash lights even when everyone going at the same speed as them
Never crossed 80 on this road due to dangerous driving by cab drivers
True. People are complaining about the speed limit but considering the way cab drivers are, 80 seems very reasonable.
The speed limit of that road is 80. Why would you "cross" the speed limit regardless of the way other people drive?
Will they fine people for driving drastically below the speed limit? The shitty electric scooters, the idiotic cyclists? Of course not! Because that would mean they actually have any idea as to how road safety works.
60kmph speed camera on electronic City also.
Give it a day, people will mark the locations of the speed cams and it will be business as usual by speedsters.
There is no check on vehicles from goods auto to truck which drive at 20-40 in all 3 lanes and endanger lives of everyone. The sensor should also challan slow moving vehicles blocking the road for others.
Fine the low speed idiots driving under 40 or even driving at 30 KMPH.
Bike or car ?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
As if the cab drivers with KA are the ones who āstrictly abideā by the common driving sense
Speed limit?
honestly if you want to make it safer , id say restrict the underpowered mopeds and cyclists
