TheâÂÂu00c2u0080ÂÂu00c2u0088Godrej Signal at Vikhroli on the Eastern Express Highway (EEH) is a straight stretch of roughly 2-3 km, without any curves. Yet, this stretch, a 'black spot' in the traffic police's book for years, regularly sees fatal accidents. These happen mainly in the night-time when there are no signals and speeding or sudden U-turns by vehicles end up causing serious damage. The road has no potholes or bumps, so controlling speed at night is the only way to stop accidents here, say experts.
