Mangaluru, Mar 23: The road humps that are fixed on national highway (NH) near Padua in the city is inviting danger to the vehicle riders.

This new road humps are put to prevent the speeding up of vehicles that arrive from Nanthoor end, which take turn. But there is danger that these very humps may become their death traps.

These road humps are put near Padua educational institute. All these are on the same side of the road. There are four humps which are at a greater height than the usual ones. There is every chance that the rider or driver may lose control of the vehicle as there are four humps.

Public is urging the administration to remove these unscientific humps immediately. Sometimes the engine of the vehicles stalls while negotiating these humps. This may cause the vehicle that is approaching behind to collide with the vehicle that is in front. Public is of the opinion that humps are required at that spot as there is educational institute nearby but they should be scientific.

Everyday many tankers ply on this road. Due to the leakage from this tankers many vehicles have skid in the past. That is why sand is put near the humps. This is also causing the vehicles to skid. Concerned department has to immediately look into this issue before any mishap takes place.
