While the public works department (PWD) has begun installing speed breakers on Aarey’s internal roads to protect commuters and wildlife, the measures are raising fresh safety concerns. Many of the speed breakers lack reflective paint and warning signs, making them barely visible at night and putting two-wheeler riders at risk.

The PWD, currently constructing internal roads in Aarey Milk Colony, had acted following long-standing demands from locals and wildlife enthusiasts. Much of the internal Aarey Road cuts through forested areas, home to leopards, civets, spotted deer, wild boars, and snakes, where speeding vehicles pose a serious threat.
