Additional Rumble strip on the Mumbai-Pune side of the toll road will be stretched right after eating a mall near Khalapur.
On the Pune-Mumbai side of the toll road, this strip will be right after someone passes Adoshi tunnel.
“The Ghat section begins, when someone crosses these two points.
The fog is especially happening throughout the GHAT,” the official said.
MSRDC will also consider the option to organize several fog lights throughout the Ghat from the highway, he said, adding that the number of eyeplers and reflective tapes will increase.
“Working on cleaning the barriers to the accident and tapes and tapes will be put into it, especially on the curve along the toll road.
The edge and the median will get more eyeplers and cassettes.
But the riders must remain vigilant and should not pamper themselves in speeding up, overtake and straighten out, “said the official.
