Rebuild speed breaker at Parra

The speed breaker near the Parra-Verla-Canca Credit Society at Aradi in Parra, Bardez, Goa, should be rebuilt before the rainy season begins. This will help ensure road safety and prevent accidents in the area. The Public Works Department (PWD) should urgently reconstruct the speed breakers that existed before the road was recently hot-mixed. These speed breakers are necessary to slow down vehicles, especially as the road has two busy junctions where many people cross. Speeding is a major issue here.

This spot has seen many accidents in the past due to heavy traffic, and it is now considered an accident-prone zone. The earlier speed breaker was damaged during repeated digging for water pipeline work. At present, only radium paint marks the spot, but there is no actual hump. Local residents, being used to the road, do not slow down, while those unfamiliar with the area often brake suddenly when they see the markings, leading to rear-end collisions. This poses a risk to public safety.
