Motorists say traffic calming devices installed to prevent speeding may end up posing threat to life and limb

Following a series of mid-day reports highlighting how speeding vehicles on the main Aarey Milk Colony road were endangering both pedestrians and wildlife, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) began installing speed breakers along the stretch. However, less than two months later, the white markings on the traffic calming devices are disappearing.
This newspaper has been consistently highlighting the need for speed breakers on the main Aarey Milk Colony road, as accidents take place due to speeding. Taking note of this, as reported in an August 8 article headlined ‘Speeding curbed at last on Aarey Milk Colony’s main stretch’, the civic body installed speed breakers at Unit 5, Picnic Point Junction, Kombat Pada and the main entrance of the colony, as the road falls under its jurisdiction.
