SCHEDULES First Schedule Second Schedule Third Schedule Fourth Schedule * * * * 2 STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS I Act 18 of 1960.—The law in force in the different areas of the State in regard to Control of traffic in public places is not uniform. It is necessary to have a uniform law in this behalf throughout the New State of Mysore. The Government of India have advised that the State Government may also take up legislation for controlling traffic other than motor vehicle traffic on both National and State Highways on the lines of the provisions of the Model Highway Bill sent by them. The Bill is intended for this purpose. (Published in Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2A, dated 5th March 1959 at page. 48.) II Amending Act 25 of 1986.—Clause (1) of sub-section (2) of Section 14 of the Karnataka Traffic Control Act, 1960 (Karnataka Act No. 18 of 1960) prohibits the riding by more than one person at the same time on Cycles other than the cycles designed for the purpose. Now it is considered that Bicycle being a poor man’s means of transport, there should be no bar, to allow two persons to ride on a Bicycle at the same time. Hence the Bill.
