"These speed-breakers are causing accidents. Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) is supposed to mark the speed-breakers," said Ansar Uddin Khan Pathan, deputy commissioner (Traffic-South) of DMP.

“We have requested DCC's traffic engineering department several times to take initiative in this regard," Pathan added. But the officials of DCC do not know who is responsible for the job.

Mahbub Alam, assistant engineer of traffic engineering department said: "We are against the concept (of speed-breaker). So we do not take care of the speed-breakers. Zonal officials are responsible for this structures."

DCC builds these structures in the city in an unscientific way, without considering the fact that it would cause accidents if not marked.

"Actually DCC constructed the speed-breakers on request. It is not part of our planning or designing. But I agree it is necessary to mark them for road safety," said Abul Hasnat, DCC's executive engineer of Zone 6.

"The functions of DCC's newly formed traffic engineering department have not been fixed yet. Speed-breaker marking will go under its supervision."

"Last week a Mishuk (autorickshaw) overturned hitting the speed-breaker on Noorjahan Road in Mohammadpur, injuring its two passengers," said Kamrul, a shop-owner near the speed-breaker.

"This is stupidity. They have to mark the speed-breakers properly or remove them from the road," said Sajjad Alam Bobby, an Azimpur resident who suffers while driving his car to his office every morning.
