A minor accident between a car and a two-wheeler occurred in Vorcotto, Sanguem, on Sunday, fortunately leaving no one injured. However, the incident has once again brought road safety concerns in the area to the forefront. Local residents say this stretch has become increasingly dangerous, with a growing number of accidents and near-misses reported in recent months.
Many blame the situation on the absence of speed breakers or other traffic-calming infrastructure, which allows vehicles to pass through the area at unsafe speeds. Residents have been consistently urging authorities to take immediate steps to address the issue, stressing that proper interventions—like installing speed breakers or rumble strips—could significantly reduce the risk of accidents and enhance safety for both motorists and pedestrians.
In addition to speed control measures, locals have recommended other improvements such as better road signage, clearer lane markings, and more frequent police monitoring to encourage safer driving behavior. The community is now calling on government agencies to conduct a comprehensive safety audit of the area and take swift action before a more serious incident occurs.
