3D speedbreakers are being experimented in India. Will HSR get one too?
In October, we had written about a broken seat under the bus shelter on 14th Main in front of BDA Complex. We are glad to inform you that finally, it has been fixed by the authorities.
All is well that ends well. However, BBMP’s traffic engineering cell is yet to take up work on the speedbreakers and signal improvements across HSR Layout, and fix the broken road divider on 27th Main. Earlier, the traffic police informed us that the BBMP has their wishlist for months now, but they were citing their ‘busy’ status and not attending to the problems they have highlighted.
The BBMP had also given the excuse of cycle track work for the delay in erecting speedbreakers and painting them across HSR Layout. According to the rules, every speed limiter should have reflectors, white stripes and proper landing. However, most humps in HSR lack reflectors and the white stripes were never painted. In such circumstances, it becomes for vehicle users to notice the bump when the visibility is low. This is one of the major reasons for injuries and accidents on roads, and HSR is no exception.
