The BMC has installed a speed breaker with spikes on B G Kher Marg in Malabar Hill to deter bikers coming from the wrong side of the road. This marks the first time BMC has implemented this type of speed breaker on the road.
According to a BMC official, the road from Kamala Nehru Park to Kemps Corner junction is designated as one-way. However, they have been receiving complaints from locals about bikers entering from Kemps Corner junction, going in the wrong direction. In response to these concerns, locals had requested the BMC to address the issue of wrong-way traffic.
