Mysore Road Safety Rules<\/b><\/h2>\n

As mentioned, Mysore is a well-connected city. There are multiple routes to get to one destination, so there is absolutely no reason why anyone should try to break the rules for convenience. Read on to keep in mind some important road safety rules for Mysore, and the consequence of breaking them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using a phone while riding<\/i><\/strong>: The multiple cameras across the city will surely catch you in the act. You will be fined Rs. 1,500 for the first offence\u00a0 and Rs. 10,000 for subsequent offences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Racing<\/i><\/strong>: Mysore\u2019s streets can be tempting for a test to see who has the better bike, especially at night. No one is more aware of this than the Mysore police, who keep a watch on streets with most recorded races. You will be fined Rs. 5,000, with a possibility of license suspension.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Honking in a silence zone<\/i><\/strong>: Respect the no-honking zones to avoid a fine of Rs. 500.<\/span><\/p>\n

Breaking a red light<\/i><\/strong>: Zooming past a red light is a sure way of getting caught by the hands of the law. The several cameras at signals across Mysore will record you, and enforcement cameras send a photo of your car and license plate to the Enforcement Automation Centre. Records of your offences are kept, and subsequent offences could lead to steep fines or revoking of licenses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drinking and Driving<\/i><\/strong>: The Mysore police are extremely strict about this. If you are caught driving when drunk, your vehicle will be seized and you will have to make a court appearance to pay the fine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
