Over to you IGP and DIG (Traffic)

I do wish to bring to the notice of the Traffic Police, or rather highlight the difficulties and inconveniences experienced in silence, by the residents of Kalubowila, Sri Wimalasiri Road, Dehiwela (Old Kalubowila Road) and suburbs, lanes areas, the motorists especially the motorcyclists, cabs, autos, vans and lorries, try to use this stretch of small (not so broad) lane, as a racing-track!

These speed-fiends travel at high-speeds during peak hours of the day, with no concern at all, about the danger and risks, they cause to the residents of the area particularly, the school-going children, old aged patients as pedestrians and the rest, who are helpless.

When the speed-fiends, speed up, the pedestrians are bent on pushing them back by real force, to the big drains found, on either sides of this small lane.

Don’t these pedestrians have to go to school, go to work or to hospital or market? What a great risk and what a pity the people of this area are facing now?

Therefore, I do suggest, there should be speed limits enforced straight away with boards erected on this lane (Kalubowila, Sri Wimalasiri Road) and the Traffic Police must be on duty here at least during the peak hours of the day, in order to maintain strict road discipline and manners and in the interest of all the citizens.
