After its experiment of installing barricades on the median at Marine Drive to hinder jaywalkers a month ago proved a failure, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will now add a horizontal strip to the upper side of the barriers, grow a dense green hedge and install barbed wire to keep pedestrians from crossing the busy stretch, an extensive report stated in this paper.

Various resident associations had been constantly demanding barricading of medians to prevent jaywalkers from jumping over them.
