The Coimbatore District Road Safety Association has urged the city police to ensure adherence to speed limits by government and private buses to prevent fatal accidents, by installing speed-control devices.
Other issues such as the playing of loud music and relentless honking in buses also need to be addressed for the safety of other road users, said M. Devendra, Secretary of Coimbatore District Road Safety Association in a representation to the Commissioner of Police, Coimbatore City.
The association also flagged traffic congestion along Mettupalayam Road, Tiruchi Road and Ukkadam despite the construction of flyovers, traffic disruption caused by the haphazard parking of vehicles on the roadside at Sai Baba Colony, Avinashi Road and other locations along Mettupalayam Road, and advertising hoardings on roadsides that hinder vehicle movement.
