“We have installed ramps and placed warning boards like 'Go Slow' and 'Ramp Ahead'," Times of India quoted general manager (technical), National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) Sumit Kumar as saying. However, the motorist's claimed that the ramp placed for white-topping work was not clearly visible.
The officer at Thane's Programme Implementation Unit (PIU) said that the authorities have permission to work lane by lane and hence the traffic is controlled on the other two lanes. This incident comes after complaints from several motorists since NHAI started cement-concreting NH-48 early this year.

The complaints raised concerns about lack of signages, missing dividers and uneven sections on the 121km-stretch from Dahisar to Achhad near Gujarat border. According to Palghar activist Harbans Singh Nanade, it becomes difficult to spot such ramps at night since the white topping is being done lane by lane. He added,“Also, at most spots, the divider is missing and there is a height difference between the lanes,” reported TOI.
