Gurugram:
Days after cars were shown “flying” due to a speed breaker on Gurugram's Golf Course Road, authorities swung into action and installed a cautionary signboard.
A video has gone viral on X that shows a speeding BMW hitting a newly installed speed breaker, hovering for more than a second before landing about 15 feet from the breaker and at least three feet off the ground. I live in

The video also shows two trucks approaching the point, unaware of the unmarked breaker, flying after hitting it.
One clip shows several people gathering at the spot to record a video of the speed breaker.
Facing backlash, the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) said late on Tuesday that it has now put up a cautionary signboard “Speed Breaker Ahead”.
They also said they have marked the speed breakers with thermoplastic white paint to improve visibility at night and help vehicles move “safely”.
