Whether town planning authority, traffic police or any other relevant authority has concerns of technicality of the traffic while putting up bumps on the road? Or some illegal or private speed breakers are fixed on public roads by people with vested-interest?
Just about 50 meters away from main gate of ISRO and towards Star Bazar (on Jodhpur tekra) there is a big speed breaker. The road is slopping down and has a little turn too. Its being the main road, it may have normal-high speed of average vehicle at this point.
Suddenly a bump comes, anyway the drivers can control and slow down, but that can't be same for all following vehicles on such a clear and sloppy road. On an average, there happening an accident daily at this speed breaker and I am sure very few of them might have got registered.
Actually there is no need of speed breaker at this point as it’s not a facility to the ISRO-visitors or their staffers. It is just after ISRO main gate. Technically, it should not be there.
The movement of the vehicle should be allowed only till rolling down up to foot of the hill. Why it is there? There are a few bungalows are there in a lane adjacent to the speed brakers.
Perhaps, for their sake many people bear the loss as well as damage to their vehicles and many a time suffers physical injury or loss. There is no any sign board reading ‘Bump Ahead’ cautioning the drivers.
Being the style of the road and slope, the glitter board should be over the head. There are no Zebra (meant for crossing a road) marks on the bump and at times it becomes bloody at night.
There is gap in road divider just after the Bump, which is meant for allowing safer right turn to vehicles coming from opposite direction. Actually, the gap in road divider for allowing vehicles to turn to that adjacent lane must to be filled.
The turn for a few shouldn't be allowed on such big and sloppy roads. They are also creating problems for vehicles following them and driving upwards on the hill. They need to go little more up to a safer cut for the turn.
Perhaps, it would have been better if I have taken photographs of accidents at this location. Whose whims will take whose life? If not removed or taken proper action, somebody has to be "Bali No Bakro" for sake of few whimsical.
Note: Though I have neither become a victim of this wild speed breaker nor any personal problems. But I have seen the situation before this bump and after it as I regularly drive on this road. And I do take sufficient care, but what about the innocent people, who doesn't know about all this (Rastey Ka Patthar/the proper thing but at inappropriate place).
