Unmarked Speed Breaker Launches Scooter Airborne in Viral Video
13 Nov
Summary
- A dashcam video shows a scooter launching into the air from an unmarked speed breaker.
- The speed breaker lacks visibility markings, making it dangerous at night.
- Accidents due to unmarked speed breakers can cause severe injuries and vehicle damage.
A viral dashcam video from Greater Noida West has exposed a dangerous, unmarked speed breaker on the Link Road. The footage clearly shows a scooter being violently thrown into the air after striking the hidden bump, highlighting a significant road safety concern.
Commuters have pointed out that the speed breaker is constructed from the same material as the road and lacks any reflective markings, rendering it virtually invisible at night. This unmarked elevation poses a serious threat, potentially leading to severe accidents, loss of vehicle control, and injuries, particularly for two-wheeler riders.
Authorities like the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) and Noida Traffic Police have been urged to address the issue promptly. According to Indian Roads Congress guidelines, speed breakers must be clearly marked with reflective stripes and accompanied by warning signboards to ensure driver awareness and safety.
