Following a series of articles highlighting how speeding vehicles on the main Aarey Milk Colony road were endangering both pedestrians and wildlife, the BMC has taken note and begun work on installing speed breakers along the stretch.

Assistant Municipal Commissioner of the P South ward, Ajay Patane, said, “Following a request from the Aarey police station and in an effort to curb speeding that could lead to accidents on Dinkar Rao Desai Marg (the main Aarey Milk Colony road), we are constructing speed breakers at three locations: Unit No. 5, Picnic 
Point Junction, and Kombat Pada.”

In February 2025, mid-day had reported in its story “Aarey cops want signal, speed breakers to rein in speeding motorists” how the Aarey police, taking serious note of mid-day’s earlier coverage on the absence of speed breakers, had written to the traffic department recommending their installation at 11 accident-prone spots.
