Mumbai’s bustling roads have speed breakers that are either poorly marked or entirely unmarked, turning crucial safety measures into accident hotspots, a front-page report highlighted in this paper. While designed to slow down vehicles, improperly maintained speed breakers create more problems than they solve, particularly for two-wheeler riders.

There are a concerning number of unmarked speed breakers in the city’s major arteries, increasing the likelihood of accidents, especially at night. The report cited visits to several spots where white markings were absent. We also witness broken speed breakers at times.
