Tyre killers come off on Day 1, Noida asks how safe they are

Noida | Wednesday | 9th January, 2019

Summary:

“Tyre killer speed breakers were not installed professionally. We are in the process of fixing the problem and will be eventually making a slope of bitumen road near the tyre killers which will fix the structure permanently, without any loose ends. Others are planned near Sector 77 North Eye junction, Sector 76 metro station, the Sai Mandir U-turn at Sector 61 and near the Sector 16A flyover.On Tuesday morning, traffic slowed to crawl near the lone tyre killer strip, warned from a distance by signage that cried out ‘Saavdhan, Tyre Killer’. But if one is driving on the wrong side, then its spring-operated spikes puncture the tyres of vehicles. There will be no such problem then,” said Tyagi.Tyre killers are essentially metal strips that acts as speed breaker for those driving on the right side..
