Roads roads everywhere.. no space to walk anywhere.. Highways through cities need to be treated like urban streets and be designed for all road users including vulnerable ones like #pedestrians and #cyclists #Bengaluru #Streetsforall #weneedfootpaths #equitablestreets

There was such a hue and cry for removing bus lane bollards when someone died after trying to get into a bus lane and was squashed by a truck. Here’s another news from the same road: deccanherald.com/amp/city/bike-.

@AddlCPTraffic why don’t we remove dividers?

Bike hits divider, rider killed

A 27-year-old biker died and the man on the pillion escaped with minor injuries when the bike crashed into the divider on the Outer Ring Road (ORR) opposite Bagmane Tech Park in KR Puram.
