Set up signboards near speed-breakers

Recently the stretch of road leading from Almeida High School towards Ravi Nagar at Khadpabandh in Ponda has been hot-mixed.

Speed-breakers have been erected for the benefit of innocent travellers. However, traffic signboards (thereby indicating presence of speed-breakers) are found missing. The situation is rather dangerous for travellers, in particular, pillion riders proceeding along this strategic location. 

The situation is bound to worsen during the night and a two-wheeler rider proceeding in full speed is likely to get involved in a mishap near the speed-breaker by losing control over the vehicle. 

Innocent travellers need to be assured safety on a permanent basis. It is thereby absolutely necessary for the concerned competent authorities to install the much needed signboards on immediately so that travellers receive the necessary instructions at a glance. 

White stripes should also be painted on priority basis. This would assure safety. Let us hope that prompt favourable action would be initiated in public interest.
