| ![]() Thats the thing. The only one part of the sealink has been completed. So a technically 4 (in one direction) lane road is now reduced to a 2 lane/direction road. The divider is made of those yellow hard-plastic blocks. I dont know how heavy they are but I guess a speeding car can knock them aside. Even an errant divider blocks can surprise speedlimit abiding drivers and cause an accident. BTW, noticed a funny sign going onto the sealink from the worli side last saturday. Among other things it had a picture signalling no bullock carts allowed on the sealink. ![]() |

A TOI report said they're "water-filled" to prevent them from being chucked around easily, but I don't know how accurate this is. Sounds funny to me. | ||

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Best thing to avoid accidents on the Sealink is (It works and Bangalorians can vouch for this) to install speed breakers at every 50 meters (Every Fifty Meters - It saves lives) on the Bridge, so noone just speeds at any point of time - peak of off-peak hours. They may remove those when the other side of the bridge is completed and opened for traffic. And normally these plastic bollards used for dividers are sand filled. Don't know the case of Sealink though. Last edited by RajaTaurus : 9th December 2009 at 13:19. |

| ![]() Just saw a black Skoda Fabia crushed at Bandra Police Station. Came home and read the news in Mid-Day. Really bad! I have learnt one thing from this thread: "Speed, only if you can control it". |

| ![]() You're right. In that situation, perhaps even being stationary would not save the poor passenger. |

| ![]() oops, just missed the 15 min limit. I saw on the news headline that there has been another accident on the Bandra-Worli sealink yesterday. This time a Lancer and an Accord were involved. One car had entered from the Bandra side and the other from Worli side. The Lancer was taking a U-turn when the accord slammed into it. ![]() |

| ![]() Two accidents in such a short space? That's really unfortunate. Looks like the authorities need to take another look at the sealink and how to direct traffic on it. |
