मुंबईतील रस्ते

म्ह्टले बघुया आपल्या मुंबईतील रस्ते कसे आहेत ? हे त्याचे नमुनेदार फोटो . मुंबईतले रस्ते सुमार दर्जाचे... वाहन चालवता येईल असे मुंबईतील रस्ते नाहीत, आंतरराष्टीय शहर म्हणुन दर्जा असला तरी रस्ताचा दर्जा तसा दिसत नाही, असे उदगार सोमवारच्या सुनावणीत मुंबई हायकोर्टाचे मुख्य न्यायाधीश स्वतंत्रकुमार यांनी काढले.
१.ह्या रस्तातील भेगा, फटी बुंजवायच्या कोणी ? ह्यात मोटरसायकल, स्कुटर चे चाक अडकुन मग त्या घसरतात.
२.घरगल्य्यातील सांडपाणी रस्तावर येत आहे. जवळपास रहाणारे नागरीक, दुकानदार यांना मनापात जावुन ते साफ करावसे पण वाटत नाही का ? नगरसेवकांना आपल्या विभागातुन किमान आठवड्यातुन एकदा फेरफटका मारुन ह्या सर्व विसंगतीची नोंद घ्यावीसी वाटत नाही का ?
३. रस्तावर चालणारी कामे किती दिवस, महिने, वर्षे चालतात ह्या वर नियंत्रण असावे का ? ही सर्व कामे शनिवार, रविवार, किंवा रात्री युद्धपातळीवर करुन ताबडतोब का पुरी केली जात नाहीत ? जेणे करुन वाहतुकीला त्रास होणार नाही. चीन म्हणे विक्रमी वेळात तिबेटच्या पठारावर, दुर्गम जागी , प्रतिकुल परीस्थितित रैल्वे लाईन बांधते.
४. कामे पुर्ण झाल्यावर रस्ता पुर्ववत करायचा केव्हा ? आणि कोणी ?
५. रस्तावरील खड्डे तर जीवना अपरीहार्य भाग बनले आहेत . मोटरसायकल, स्कुटर चालवणाऱ्याच्या पाठीचे काय होत असावे ? किंवा ह्या मुळे होणाऱ्या अपघाताचे प्रमाण किती असावे ?
६.भर चौकात, सर्कलजवळ ही कचराकुंडी ठेवली गेली आहे ? रात्री ह्या वर वाहने धडकण्याची शक्यता नाकारताना येत नाही.

Road Safety Week ????????

We are celebrating 18th Road Safety Week from Jan.01 to Jan 07, but only on papers, on sign boards and for Motorist. What about safety of the Pedestrians?

Right of Way of Pedestrians - 1

Dear Respected Authorities,

Do we really have any other option than walking in the middle of Jamshedji Tata Road while coming out in open from both sides of Eros towards Churchgate Railway Station on the way back home? Why the Car Parking Area is obstruction in our free and safety walk?

And sir, most importantly where is the Traffic Signal on the pedestrian crossing for pedestrians coming from Hutatma Chowk and Eros near the subway entrance to Churchgate Railway Station on J.Tata Road?

Please remember that the Safety and Right of Way of Pedestrians should be of prime importance than flow of vehicle traffic.


(Evidence follows)

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN

Keep your eyes open. Never ever pass by any unsafe act.

RIGHT OF WAY OF PEDESTRIAN

This in continuation of privious blog on Death trap opp. Churchgate Rly.Stn about people juming over road divider and risking their life The problem still contiues. What makes human to risk their life ?

I feel the complete system around Churchgate needs to be reviewed.

The road monitoring system around Churchgate railway station is I feel of extremely hardship for the commuters of public transport and for the pedestrian. It’s designed in such a way to give comforts to the vehicles users only. Nowhere in the system is the pedestrian in centre and of prime importance.

Everyday about 350,000 pedestrian make use of roads and footpaths around this particular area whereas against the numbers of vehicles are in few thousands.The hardship for railway commuters starts as soon as they come out of Churchgate railway station. Either they have to make compulsory use of the comparative narrow subways with shopkeepers and food stalls encroaching or walk till the end of barricade on Maharshi Karve Road to cross the road while going to office or going back to their home. The easiest and fastest way for the pedestrian including women, olden citizens who are in a hurry to catch muster or train back to home is to risk their and motorist and bus drivers life by hoping and jumping over the 2 feet barricade and to cross road as there is no convenient pedestrian crossing. The footpath just outside station is very narrow. Also the barricade on Veer Nariman Road and from Eros to Samrat Hotel makes road crossing difficult. Even for the bus commuters and BEST bus drivers, the bus stop outside station is dangerous because of heavy movements of railway commuters and taxi drivers. Few policemen try to control the human ocean in vein during morning and evening peck hours. It’s a waste of police force. How can we even expect for small policeforce to manage lakhs of pedestrian ?

Nowhere in world has police tried to stop pedestrians crossing the road as soon as signal lights turns red with the help of rope except in this region. The chances of persons tripping over the rope cannot be overlooked.

My request is please give prime importance to pedestrian who are in very large numbers comparative to vehicles on road. Recognize the Right of Way of Pedestrian to use road and footpaths. Make life easy for him. Why they should hop and jump and risk life while crossing road? Please make a convenient pedestrian crossing wherever required.. Till then as short term measure increase the height of barricade on Maharshi Karve Road. Please allocate a convenient place for taxi passengers to alight as at present taxies halt near station and cause traffic jam.

If necessary divert the private vehicles and taxies traffic near the railway station during morning and evening peak hours or let traffic police control the vehicles more effectively rather than Mumbai Police controlling huge crowd.

Death Trap opp. Churchgate Railway Station

Everyday hundreds of people including women and senior citizens, risk their life by hopping and jumping and crosssing over the 2 feet Road Divider Wall at Maharshi Karve Road opp.Churchgate Railway station on the way to and from the office. Its dangerous for the motorist and bus drivers also. Few police men tries to control the hung unmanagable crowd helplessly. I feel its a criminal waste of Police force. The solution is very simple and it's available just few steps ahead, just look at the the Iron Railing fromEros to Samrat and another Iron Railing on Veer Nariman Road. The concerned authorities must install the same kind of Iron Railing on M.Karve Road immediately to avoid any mishap and loss of human life. I have seen, while travelling by bus, persons misses death by few inches and fraction of seconds.

Simple Solution is just few steps away. Increase the height of the boundary wall.
