New speed breakers in Chennai that conform to the specifications of the Indian Roads Congress (IRC) will be laid by Chennai Corporation.
The Chennai Corporation has begun work on new speed-breakers inside residential localities. Existing ones that do not conform to IRC specifications are also being changed.
A senior official in Adyar zone said around 40 speed-breakers have been identified in the zone covering Velacherry, Guindy, Saidapet, Besant Nagar, Thiruvanmiyur and Adyar.
The official said each new concrete speed-breaker, with a smooth curved shape and painted for easy identification, costs between Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 25,000. Previously, road contractors would install speed-breakers by dumping macadam on the road and leave them without paint marking, he said.
Zone-wise, there are a total of 780 speed-breakers in 15 zones, of which 420 comply with IRC standards. The rest are planned to be modified in phases.
