In a viral video, the blockage was observed near Hebbal flyover and commuters got out of their vehicles to flag the violations. An X user shared the video and wrote, “Brazen wrong side driving to access Hebbal flyover blocking all traffic. Kindly take action on video evidence.” The person tagged Bengaluru police to take action against the violators.

The user also highlighted the school bus that was seen in the wrong direction and wrote, “Imagine the anguish of parents to see a school bus being driven with such negligence. Today it is someone else’s child but tomorrow it could be yours.”

Meanwhile, other Bengaluru commuters complained that such violations are leading to traffic congestion across the city. A user said, “It’s like this all over Bangalore - brazen indiscipline and disregard for traffic rules. @blrcitytraffic strict action with heavy fines is the only way probably to bring in some sense.”

A second user complained, “This is common practice when there are no cops which needs to be stopped. It’s a shame that people can’t follow rules unless some is watching. It is said that a true character is revealed when no one is watching.”
