Pune Roads to Get Speed Breakers Back: PMC Reinstalls for Pedestrian Safety

• Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) will reinstall speed breakers on major city roads, which were removed for the 'Pune Grand Tour' international cycling competition.
• The decision aims to curb vehicle speeding on roads like Ganeshkhind Road, Pashan Road, and Senapati Bapat Road, enhancing pedestrian safety.
• After the competition, smooth roads led to excessive speeding, making it difficult for pedestrians and senior citizens to cross.
• New speed breakers will be constructed scientifically according to IRC standards to control speed without damaging vehicles.
• Aniruddha Pawaskar, Head of Road Department, PMC, confirmed the reinstallation process has begun where necessary to prevent accidents.
