Outstation fuel tankers barred to ease traffic congestion
Bengaluru: Ina move aimed at easing traffic congestion, Bengaluru traffic police have restricted the entry of petrol, diesel and LPG tankers transporting fuel to destinations outside the city. Such vehicles will have to use alternative routes, including NICE Road and the Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR), instead of passing through the city.
The decision follows concerns over the growing number of heavy vehicles using Bengaluru’s roads and adding to congestion on major arterial routes. Police found that around 800 to 1,000 petrol, diesel and LPG tankers travel every day from Devaragundi in Hoskote taluk to various districts, passing through the city. Heavy vehicles have been barred from entering Bengaluru during morning hours since 2014. However, tankers carrying essential commodities such as fuel and LPG were exempted and allowed to operate round the clock. The police have now reviewed the exemption after noticing the large number of tankers moving through the city.
