The ideal way to control traffic and safety of pedestrians is by traffic lights and cameras to check on errant drivers
In Goa but now the highways are being decorated with rumbler strips.
This cure is worst than the disease. The rumbler strips damage vehicles and injuries to spinal chord and pregnant women and are scientifically pronounced as positive health hazzard. The nuisance of intolerable, rattling sounds vibrating structures and disturbing peace of elderly, sick is 24x7.The protection needed is for certain peak hours. Overtaking dangerously on rumbler strips is another more dangerous ourcome.The height has to be reduced as it serves no purpose for safety to riders or vehicles.
The appeals to GSPC board to measure the decibels is falling on deaf ears inspite of continous reminders to act even on payment of service.There is much to gain by unfailingly visiting music festivals to monitor and enforce regulations. The police too piously visit dance halls . PWD opines that police must take note of rumbler sound nuisance.
At Dandeavaddo on NH 66, mass protests, appeals to PWD, traffic control, CM, Deputy Collector, signature campaigns are treated with impunity with the officials refusing to visit the site and assure themselves of nuisance these rumblers are to elderly sick senior citizens.The sound does not disperse as the residences are in close proximity with sound felt over a radius of 150 metres and beyond.
