NMMC should seriously
consider the suggestions of city traffic unit
By Dinesh Kamath
NAVI MUMBAI:
The city traffic police provided the civic body with a list of suggestions
relating to how to improve the city roads.
The traffic unit explained to the civic body the kind of
hurdles they had to face particularly on busy roads and junctions. The problems
here become worse especially when there are signboards and signals missing.
Hence introduction of signboards and construction of signals at such places
would do a lot of good to both the public and traffic policemen.
There are certain roads in Navi Mumbai where vehicle
drivers tend to drive their vehicles at full speed thus creating a risk for
both drivers and pedestrians. It is owing to such tendencies of the vehicle
drivers that so many accidents take place on these roads. One road is
Thane-Belapur Road, the others are Sector 9 area of Vashi and Kopri signal
junction. The traffic unit has suggested that speed breakers be constructed on
these roads to control the speed of the vehicles and thus prevent accidents.
The demand for speed breakers on these roads was made several times by the
traffic unit but Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation authorities just didn’t seem
to be in a mood to meet this demand. It is high time for NMMC to come up with
speed breakers on those roads in the city where they are urgently required.
The other things needed to be done for traffic unit to be
able to control the traffic perfectly would be to install signboards at parking
and no-parking areas and also on roads which are one-way or which allows no
entry. The traffic unit also asked the civic body to repaint the zebra
crossings on many roads in the city where the paints have faded.
All these suggestions put up by traffic unit before the
civic body need urgent attention and also implementation to prevent loss of
lives and properties and for traffic policemen to be able to control the
traffic efficiently.
