Commuters in Hyderabad raise alarm over thick rumble strips

In Hyderabad, the proliferation of thick rumble strips has emerged as a significant concern for commuters, igniting debates over their necessity and potential health hazards.

Multiple sets of rumble strips, reportedly thicker than required, have prompted motorists to question their installation logic, citing discomfort, safety risks, and potential vehicle damage.

Harsha, who manages the Team Road Squad page on Twitter,



has been at the forefront of raising concerns regarding rumble strips for nearly a month. “Vibrations affect vehicles differently.

Please heed this request from the public and reassess the issue,” Harsha urged while tagging Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) officials, echoing the sentiments of many affected commuters. “The rumble strips cause excessive vibration and discomfort. Even driving at 40 km/h feels like hitting rocks.”
