Speed in public kills, maims and very often causes long lasting tragic consequences.
But following a few accidents at a spot an emotional response a road contractor is assigned to make a sped breaker overnight and he does it in the true Jugaad style- creates a bump. No warning signs or markings are provided. Causing more accidents and damage.
There is a science and art to speed breaker construction that guides the location, elevation, width, visibility etc (as in …. Speaker placement)
Does anyone know if there are any regulations and guidance in India on this?
who decides? Who verifies the speed breaker is built to specs? After all it’s our tax money that is being used to facilitate our safe passage on our roads.
