More than 100 traffic violations were recorded every hour on the Bangalore-Mysore National Highway. In the last 28 days, a total of 74,915 traffic violations were caught by 22 cameras installed on both sides of 118 km. The highest number of violations were recorded for drivers and co-passengers not wearing seat belts, which numbered 57,057. This was followed by 10,945 cases of speeding, 6,046 cases of lane violations, and 494 cases of using mobile phones while driving.
In an effort to reduce the number of accidents and moving infractions on NH-275, the police have placed six AI-powered Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras in each direction's six locations. In addition, five additional locations in each direction have video cameras installed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), and the speed limit has been set at 100 kmph. Traffic infractions can be captured by these high-resolution cameras.
People traveling on the highway still disobey the law and speed beyond the posted limit in spite of the cameras, which causes accidents.
