The lonely divider had led to several road mishaps from time to time. Moreover, commuters had been complaining that due to dark spot at night it was difficult for drivers to spot the divider. Several cases were reported with the driver in the dark rammed his or her vehicles into divider. Though no fatal incident has been reported, many residents said they faced hardship after their vehicles rammed into the divider.
A resident once said how he rammed his car into the divider at night with the front of the vehicle damaged. He said he was lucky that nothing major happened to him.
Besides lonely divider, the road has dividers sans reflectors. For long residents have been asking authorities to put reflectors on the dividers so that driving is hassle-free at night. Some even said there is need to put electricity poles so that the dark spots are over.
