Obsolete speedbreakers to be replaced by Chennai Corporation
Posted on: 15/Oct/2014 10:49:15 AM
Most of the speed breakers in Chennai are not built to specifications which result in accidents. Now the Chennai Corporation has identified in a recently concluded study that only 162 of the 764 speedbreakers in the city were designed as per the standards set by the Indian Road Congress (IRC).
Now, with inputs from residents, the civic body is set to demolish and restore 602 other speedbreakers and construct 1,400 new ones, all in accordance with IRC standards that have been stipulated for optimum functionality.
The Chennai Corporation has constituted a committee headed by the regional joint/deputy commissioner in each region to approve speedbreakers on stretches as part of the initiative to prevent accidents caused by poorly-designed speedbreakers.
After residents are included on the committee, demolition of poorly-designed speedbreakers will also begin.
The earlier initiatives of the Corporation to redesign speedbreakers at various locations were not successful owing to resistance from residents of some neighbourhoods. A number of accidents have reportedly occurred because of speedbreakers being commissioned without adhering to IRC standards.
