MOHALI: Frequent road accidents in Dera Bassi have claimed countless lives. To prevent further tragedies, Mohali police have taken steps to identify and address hotspots, aiming to make the road safer for all.
As per police report, which was submitted to the local deputy commissioner (DC) along with the suggestions; these hotspots include the diversion near Bhushan factory, Barwala Road, Dera Bassi flyover while travelling from Ambala to Chandigarh side and the Judicial Complex Road.
Police have suggested installing blinking lights, reflectors and red lights at accident-prone places.
Mohali police have recommended installation of lights or reflectors at the beginning of the Dera Bassi flyover from Ambala side, and at the end of the flyover while going towards Chandigarh.
Police have also asked administration to install a traffic signal near the Bhushan factory to enable residents of Haripur Kuran village, Dera Bassi, to easily cross the road without getting hurt. According to officials, many accidents were reported at the said junction.
Punjab Road Safety and Traffic Research Centre (PRSTRC) conducted a road safety audit of Dera Bassi sub-division earlier this year.
As per the audit, speed bumps are needed near the Bhushan factory, which is a major accident hotspot. Besides, pedestrian markings were also found to be wrongly marked at this point.
