Just a few metres away from Hrithik Roshan's old house, Hema Malini's newly constructed building and the iconic Dharmendra bunglow, Juhu Scheme has witnessed cars banging into each other at almost the drop of a hat.
A certain spot on Road No.11 and a stretch leading to Road No.12 and Juhu Gymkhana may fast turn into a killer spot, if one looks at the videos which have been captured by the concerned members of its society, Vithal Nagar (SEE VIDEOS BELOW).

The society members say that they have complained to the Local Traffic Police and the BMC since the longest time but no action has been taken so far. "You just can't drive safely on this road even if you want to, someone might spring up from anywhere and bang your car. All that we are asking is for few speed breakers and more street lights. But every time, we are told by an A to see a B, who directs us to a C. It's the same old story of 'passing the buck' and nobody saying that 'yeh kaam mera hai'," says a society member, Naresh Hansrajani.
Adds Hansrajani, "The paucity of speed breakers is felt even more if you look at the lights on this road. The darkness also makes it a very safe ground for miscreants, who are often seen lurking in corners especially at night."
When contacted, Rakesh Roshan told SpotboyE.com, "Motorists must drive very carefully in the lanes and bylanes of Juhu Scheme. Things have become very dangerous. We definitely need more speed breakers and lights on our roads."
Manoj Kumar's son, Kunal Goswami told SpotboyE.com, "The road outside my building Goswami Towers has become terrible. Motorists avoid going through Road No 10 which is actually the main road simply because it has speed breakers. So they zip, zap, zoom through Road No.11 and if you see the videos, they'll tell you the entire shocking story."
Prakash Mehra's son, Puneet, who stays at a stone-throwing distance from the dangerous junction, says,"I have been mobilising the residents and we have taken up the cudgels, but we are tearing our hair out and failing to understand that why this simple job is not being done on our road which has become almost like a death spot."
Danny Denzongpa is Puneet's neighbour. Danny's son Rinzing too raises the red flag. " People don't stop at the intersections near our house and it's getting riskier by the minute," he says.
Another concerned member of the society, Mahesh Khatri, says, "I take walks in the evening on this road. At this rate, God knows where am I heading for?"
Phew!
