Several residents residing along the Bengaluru-Mysuru access controlled highway have dismantled sections of the safety barriers to cross the road, posing significant hazard to both motorists and pedestrians.
The highway has already drawn the ire of commuters over the lack of safety measures and for fatal accidents. Motorists now voice concerns that individuals cross the six-lane expressway, often while vehicles are travelling at speeds exceeding 100 kmph, posing significant danger to both motorists and pedestrians resorting to unlawful crossings.
Along the 119-kilometre stretch of the highway, wherever villages are situated, local residents have dismantled the safety barriers installed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
