Install speed cameras on all bridges to save lives

The tragic accident of the policeman on Atal Sethu followed by another disastrous accident of 4 people dying by drowning when their vehicle fell into the Zuari river. What a loss of precious lives for the families and for the State. The Transport Ministry needs to put all the safety and speed cameras to capture speeding cars on these bridges. All constructed bridges do not have road banking , that's why the speed limits boards are installed informing the speeding drivers to check their speed. With no one watching the negligent drivers feel they are on the grand prix race track, some few crazy drivers behind vehicles that try to maintain the 30km/hr speed honk at them or even swear once they overtake you even though overtaking is not allowed. Will the Transport Minister or our Chief Minister immediately install the speed cameras on all bridges? 'Ata bhimvpachi  garaz asa Chief Minister bhai.'
