Unscientific speed-breaker in Jigani causes multiple accidents
The main road in the Jigani industrial area on the outskirts of Bengaluru, already notorious for frequent accidents, has become even more dangerous due to an unscientific speed-breaker. This poorly designed road hump, intended to slow down two-wheeler riders, has caused numerous riders to lose control and fall. Standing at an alarming height of 2-3 feet, the speed-breaker is not only poorly constructed but also lacks proper consideration for two-wheeler safety. As a result, many riders have been thrown off balance, leading to falls and injuries. Several such incidents have been captured on CCTV cameras, showing the severity of the problem. Local commuters are now expressing frustration with the authorities, who are being blamed for allowing such an unsafe design to remain in place. The number of accidents has reportedly increased, with some even occurring on a daily basis. Motorists are calling for immediate action to either redesign or remove the speed-breaker to prevent further mishaps. The residents of the area are urging the authorities to prioritize safety and ensure that proper engineering standards are followed in the construction of such traffic control measures. With rising concerns and mounting complaints, it is hoped that the authorities will take swift action to address the issue before more accidents occur. The local traffic police are now considering reviewing the design of speed-breakers across the city to ensure they meet safety standards for all types of vehicles, especially two-wheelers.
