Autorickshaws and goods vehicles prohibited in Commercial Street

BENGALURU: The Shivajinagar traffic police have prohibited the entry of autorickshaws and goods vehicles in Commercial Street, one of the most happening areas in the city. The traffic police have installed barricades and put up banners at entry points to enforce the restriction.

The move is aimed at reducing congestion and ensuring pedestrian safety, as the area was experiencing traffic jams due to movement of heavy vehicles. Tourists and locals visit the area with family, friends on weekends for shopping or to spend quality time.

In case any autorickshaw and goods vehicles drivers violate the no-entry rule, they will be fined Rs 500 for each offence.
