As per the policy of the Government, construction
of speed breakers are not allowed on National Highways
as these defeat the basic objective of providing an
obstruction free high speed facility, apart from being
a safety hazard. However provision of properly designed
rumble strips are recommended at places like approaches
to sharp curves or level crossings, congested or accident
prone sections etc. where control of speed on National
Highways is unavoidable.
This information was given in the Lok Sabha today in
a written reply by the Minister of State for Road Transport
and Highways, Shri K. H. Muniyappa.
