A steep rise in rumble strips on the city roads has become a major irritant for motorists, especially two-wheeler riders, who say they are dreading their back-breaking commutes to and from work.
The rumble strips in front of the ENT Hospital in Koti and on Somajiguda road, where the average speed during the day is limited by the sheer volume of traffic, are a case in point.
“Traffic police are using rumble strips to cover up their inefficiency in controlling the speeds. At the rate at which they are being raised, the city roads will soon be filled with rumble strips. They are a nightmare for two-wheeler riders,” says P. Gautham, a resident of Madinaguda.
