Nagpur's road safety is under scrutiny as overgrown shrubs and ornamental plants on road dividers are creating blind spots, particularly for two-wheeler riders. Areas like Maharajbagh to University Library Square, Alankar Talkies Square to Jhansi Rani Square, Inner Ring Road, and parts of Pratap Nagar have been identified as high-risk zones. Riders have reported branches scraping helmets or bodies when maneuvering traffic, especially during peak hours. Residents and commuters are raising concerns about the inadequate maintenance of these green spaces. While the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) claims periodic trimming, citizens argue that upkeep is irregular, worsened by monsoon-driven growth. Experts warn that limited visibility at turns increases the risk of collisions. There is a growing call for immediate and systematic pruning by NMC in coordination with traffic authorities to prioritize road safety. #news #Newsone #NagpurRoadSafety #TrafficHazard #TwoWheelerSafety #BlindSpots #RoadMaintenance #NMCAlert #CommuterSafety #UrbanSafety
