Pedestrians continue to jaywalk across the 6-lane Thane-Belapur (T-B) Road, risking their lives against speeding vehicles, particularly at locations where skywalks are in place. For instance, the state-of-the-art foot over bridge (FOB) at Rabale railway station, connecting east and west sides of T-B Road has received a very poor response from pedestrians.Educated professionals form a major chunk of the violators of traffic norms, as compared to some others, who prefer to take the skywalk. Hundreds of officer-goers blatantly cross the high-speed vehicular corridor, jumping off the raised road divider. They don’t seem bothered about the consequences of violating traffic guidelines, said motorists.
