Andhra Pradesh High Court Orders Strict Compliance with Speed Breaker Guidelines in Response to a PIL

The Andhra Pradesh High Court has directed the State to ensure that all speed breakers conform to the revised specifications of the Indian Road Congress (IRC) and other relevant authorities.

A Bench of Chief Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur and Justice Ravi Cheemalapati, while hearing a PIL by Thandava Yogesh, noted that faulty and unmarked speed breakers pose serious road safety risks.

The Court asked the State to rectify existing installations and issue circulars mandating compliance with updated guidelines.

Authorities were reminded to highlight speed breakers with reflective paint for visibility and ensure adherence in letter and spirit.
