On many occasions we come across traffic signboards either covered by bushes or branches of adjoining trees. Such a state of affairs tend to be dangerous for the lives of innocent travellers proceeding along the road. Due to lack of proper visibility of signboards, there is every possibility of mishaps taking place sooner or later. In order to assure safety for vehicular traffic on a permanent basis, it is important that bushes and branches of trees covering the signboards are chopped and trimmed on a regular basis.
Seen in the picture is one such signboard at Dhavali in Ponda. The concerned signboard is covered with leaves of adjoining trees. Let us hope that the concerned authorities initiate prompt favourable action in this important matter before any mishap occurs at this strategic spot.
