In May, 60 cameras were installed on the Bengaluru—Mysuru Expressway to detect vehicles speeding and causing accidents. These cameras will spot vehicles travelling at higher speeds than the permissible limits and automatically generate traffic challans. The number of accidents on this expressway has been concerning and Karnataka police have been trying to bring them down.
