Unscientific, poor planned, unauthorized roads humps have mushroomed across the State endangering lives of riders and drivers.
It violates every word in the Indian Road Congress (IRC) rule book. The IRC has made certain rules and regulations specifically to be followed in the construction of road humps. The IRC guidelines
also mandates that speed breakers be highlighted with paint and have reflectors for better visibility at nights.
It also mandates the placement of signboards cautioning vehicles of an upcoming hump. But the existing compromised system
ensures that a road hump can be built anywhere on the whims and fancies of a contractor or gangman.
Such speed breakers seem designed to spark fatal accidents.
