Bengaluru : As the number of two-wheeler accidents were on rise on the road day after day, there would be “No Entry” for the two-wheelers on the road during night from 10pm to 5am from Sunday (Jan 16)

The Nandi Economic Corridor Enterprises (NICE) Limited took the decision after a direction from the Joint Commissioner of Traffic, Bengaluru, NICE said in a release.

According to senior traffic police officials, the decision came after the road was seeing a rise in the number of accidents involving two-wheelers at night.

“The road is in the outskirts of the city and at night it is dangerous for two-wheelers. Four-wheelers and other heavy vehicles ply at a high speed on NICE Road and the safety of two-wheelers is important. Thus, we decided to ban two-wheelers,” said the police.

Traffic police officials also added that a few youths engage in stunts and racing on NICE Road and the ban will help avoid these.

“There is a lack of lighting on the road, also a reason for accidents of two-wheelers during the night,” officials said
