    Very sad and heartfelt sympathise to the ere there are zebra crossings drivers and riders do not respect pedestrians. Bus and autfamily. Motorists do not have respect to pedestrians. Even in Mangalore wo drivers do not care for pedestrians who cross using the zebra crossing. Looks like the drivers and riders do not know the purpose of the zebra crossing.

    The road at Sullia's Old Toll Gate area is very zig zag with a lot of sharp cirves. Add to that there are a couple of roads merging the main road there. Some method should be deviced to regulate the movement of vehicles there. Speed breakers (humps or rumblers) may not be a good choice. Perhaps a short stretch of road divider or a a round about at this point may prevent further accidents.
