Traffic safety advocates said the incident highlights wider road safety issues in urban areas like Hyderabad, where intersections and multi‑lane junctions often lack clarity and clear right‑of‑way signage. Road users, particularly two‑wheeler riders, are vulnerable during peak traffic times when drivers may overlook lane discipline or signals.
Police are continuing their investigation, gathering witness accounts and reviewing available footage to determine liability. Authorities have urged all commuters to exercise caution at intersections and adhere strictly to traffic signals to prevent similar accidents.
