Sri Vijaya Puram, September 29: Unmarked speed breakers across several parts of Sri Vijaya Puram city have become a significant safety concern, particularly for two-wheeler riders. Motorists are struggling with these hazardous speed bumps, which are often invisible due to faded or missing white markings.
While four-wheeler owners report damage to their vehicles from hitting these unmarked speed breakers unexpectedly, the situation is far worse for two-wheeler riders, who face life-threatening risks. Numerous accidents have been reported, with riders frequently losing control and falling, resulting in injuries. “The lack of proper marking makes it impossible to recognize the speed breakers, especially for those unfamiliar with the area,” said a local resident.
In many cases, the white markings on these speed breakers have completely faded, while some were never marked at all. This has made driving in new areas of the city extremely dangerous. A significant number of people, especially visitors or those traveling at night, have fallen victim to these hidden road hazards.
Adding to the public frustration is the lack of accountability from local authorities. Residents have expressed their disappointment over the administration’s unresponsiveness, with many top officials avoiding media queries. “There is no one in the administration who is answerable,” said a city commuter.
Concerned citizens are urging the Chief Secretary to make a surprise visit to the city’s roads and see the ground reality firsthand. They hope this will prompt immediate action to address the dangerous condition of unmarked speed breakers, preventing further accidents and ensuring safer roads for all.
