Another road safety advocate said that these rumble strips are only required on highways and launched a campaign to force the government to take similar action. According to haricharan K. of india Herald, "they hit two-wheelers the most, even though it's bad for cars and autos and their suspension." Others complained that the authorities had broken even their first pledge to level the rumble strips, which they had deemed unnecessary and potentially dangerous.
