A funny mistake on a traffic sign in Bengaluru has gotten a lot of people talking online! The sign is on Airport Road and has two different spellings of the city’s name: “Bengaluru” and “Bangaluru.” This confused many drivers.
The sign points to four places. KR Puram and Tumkur are spelled correctly. However, the third and fourth signs are the ones that made people laugh. One says “Bengaluru” and the other says “Bangaluru.”
This mix-up went viral after entrepreneur Sanjeev shared it on X. He wrote, “I bet someone new to the city will wonder if Bengaluru and Bangaluru are two different places!”
People responded with funny and frustrated comments. One person mentioned a specific spot, “I know exactly where this is: Hebbal flyover!” Another joked that the mistake might help slow down fast drivers and reduce accidents. Some people added that even locals could get mixed up with such signs. One even joked about how the left sign leads to a road that “Bends” (Bengaluru), while the right one allows you to go straight (Bangaluru). The sign sure made a lot of people smile!
