In a significant move aimed at enhancing road safety, Thane Municipal Commissioner Saurabh Rao has directed the installation of rumble strips at five traffic signals along Ghodbunder Road on an experimental basis. 

The decision follows a meeting with representatives of the citizens’ group, Justice for Ghodbunder Road, who stressed the need to curb speeding—particularly by heavy vehicles—near traffic junctions to prevent accidents.

The commissioner has asked the Public Works Department and Traffic Police to identify five suitable locations for the trial installation. If the pilot project proves effective, the initiative will be extended to all signals along the arterial stretch.
