Ouch! Our potty roads...

Travelling makes one think and rethink; the reason,our dilapidated roads. Going out is no longer a pleasure whether you are riding your vehicle or by public transport. The speed breakers are constantly cropping up to add to the agony. They come in all shapes and sizes; no standards, just a lump of tar meant to break your back or the axle. Many of these speed bumps blend in with the road and are invisible to the motorists except when you come close. Result a screeching halt and frayed nerves.
  I really feel we need to get a movement started to demand for better roads, standardised speed breakers and safer road layouts. The local administration should have the power and the responsibility to lay, maintain and improve the roads in their jurisdiction.The people too must be empowered to pullup the local officials for not caring for the infrastructure development of the local bodies.
   The bone breakers and non-standard speed breakers must be removed and well marked standard speed humps must be laid out in well researched locations.
