BENGALURU: Ever since its launch, the Bengaluru-Mysuru ‘Access-controlled Highway’ has been wrongly termed as an ‘expressway’, officials of the National Highways Authority of India said on Wednesday. The clarification came after commuters questioned the restrictions imposed on certain vehicles along with the speed limit. “The maximum speed limit on the Bengaluru-Mysuru Access-controlled Highway has been 100 km per hour. People confuse this with ‘expressways’ in other parts of India where the maximum speed limit is 120 km per hour. It is an ‘access-controlled highway’ and not an ‘expressway’. The maximum allowed speed is 100 km per hour,” said NHAI Regional Officer Vivek Jaiswal.
