Karnataka public works minister C C Patil on Monday admitted that 99% of speed breakers on the state’s highways and roads are “unscientific”.
The minister said this in the assembly while responding to a question raised by senior Congress MLA K R Ramesh Kumar during question hour, seeking details on authorized roads humps or speed breakers on the 52-km Hoskote-Madikere Cross road and 82-km national highway 234 connecting Mulbagal and Chikkaballapura.
