Challans will be sent directly to vehicle owners' mobile phones and police have warned commuters to follow all traffic rules while traveling on South India's first highway.

Karnataka Police Additional Commissioner (Traffic and Road Safety) Alok Kumar shared a photo taken by a camera in which a KSRTC driver was seen talking on a mobile phone. He writes: “Day or night, no violation on the Bangalore-Mysore Expressway escapes the scrutiny of our powerful cameras. Avoid using your mobile phone while driving @KSRTC_Journeys. Follow the rules of the road. Please take appropriate action against the negligent driver.
Earlier this month, 60 cameras were installed on the Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway to detect vehicles overspeeding and causing accidents. These cameras spot vehicles traveling at speeds above the permissible limit and automatically generate traffic challans.
Of the 60 vehicles, 48 have ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) installed at six locations in each direction. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has also installed video cameras at three other locations. In July last year, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) sent an expert committee to review and inspect the road's safety features after several accidents occurred since its opening.
