Chennai: If you are stuck in traffic at the Royapettah Clock Tower Junction at night, be prepared to wait without stopping when the vehicle movement in stretches is chaotic and often not set.
At 6:45 a.m.
on Thursday, at least ten two-wheeled riders looked jumping signals and driving with different directions in a range of about five minutes.
The intersection appears firmly because traffic from Bharati Salai is allowed to enter General Patters.
This collection of vehicles intersects with those who are from Whites Road to Bharati Salai and vehicles from the GH side to Bharati Salai.
Criss-cross traffic does not move according to the traffic signal.
The problem began as soon as the authorities opened General Patters Road for two-way traffic almost two years ago, said regular commuter on stretching.
Riders, especially Twowheelers, routinely jump signals even though the traffic police station is near.
Signal violations are not punished.
Mohammed K, who runs a shop near the intersection, says that there is no traffic block but people violate red signals and drive to different streets often come close to collisions.
“They just leave,” he said.
Police sometimes take action against parking and often attract motorbikes and arrange an autorickshaw, he added.
Darshan V, a local resident, said, “You have to drive carefully to prevent being hit by two-wheeled vehicles.
They seem to come from all directions.
There is no order at all.” The intersection that connects the traffic from Mandaveli to Anna Silai and Royapettah and the beach and vice versa will be clogged on weekends.
Traffic police are tasked with saying that the two-way system is not a problem.
“The traffic signal pattern that regulates the flow of vehicles from each path needs to be changed.
This will prevent the driver to try to drive.
It will be tried in the coming days.”
