After Dadar, Matunga, and Bandra, residents of Worli and Breach Candy have spoken up about two-wheelers being ridden on footpaths, endangering the lives of pedestrians. The Worli Residents Association has written to the Mumbai Traffic Police commissioner, listing six demands, including dedicated enforcement drives against two-wheelers flouting traffic rules, special attention to congested areas during peak hours, an increase in penalties for offences such as riding on the footpath and wrong side driving such as impounding vehicles and imposing hefty spot fines, special deployment of ward-level marshals to patrol such areas, and preventing footpaths from being used as vehicular traffic lanes during peak hours.
