    Yet another tragic victim of reckless driving and Police/MCC apathy. The strait stretches of Airport road, specially between Maryhill and Kavoor are tempting invitation for motorist, specially for taxis from Kerala, to over-speed and cause death and injuries to pedestrians and two-wheeler riders. The stretch has two schools with over 3000 students – from KG to PUC. Then, the church attracts hundreds of devotees, including senior citizens. I had visited the Traffic Police at Mangalore East station to make an oral and written representation. I was assured that action had been planned between the police and MCC. That was about two years ago after which a Gulf-returned man on a morning walk was knocked down dead off Bondel Junction by an airport-bound vehicle.

    I will once again spell out points for action.
    1 There should be traffic booth around which traffic from and to Pachanady Road, including heavy garbage vans, can negotiate without head-on confrontation at the tri-junction.
    2 Have speed-breakers after this round-about so that north-bound traffic slows down before Daijiworld building and another such speed -breaker before the Church gate for south-bound traffic. Similar speed-breakers should be provided in front of the dwara of MGC school complexwhere 1400 students cross the road.

    The excuse that speed-breakers cannot be provided because it is VIP road is slavish and pathetic. Is it more important to speed up VIPs at the cost of lives of local common people? I think that there is no choice and the safety of people comes first before over-speeding of any VIP’s vehicles. Will Traffic Police and MCC act before more people are killed and maimed?

    The junction near St Lawrence church, Bondal is dangerous moreover, the U turn created one more feather to the existing danger. Number of accidents occurred in the junction. Vehicle entering to the main road from service road in-direction towards Kavoor/Airport always pose danger not only them self but also to the speeding vehicle towards Kavoor/Airport because of the bus stop which is obstruction to see the speeding vehicle on main road. Service road vehicle has to enter 25% of the main road to have clearance of the road before negotiating entry. Concern people shall evaluate the issue seriously, either by providing speed breaker or relocating the bus stop.
