Summary:
Two wires dangling at a traffic signal near West Tambaram bus terminus on Grand Southern Trunk (GST) Road pose a threat to the safety of pedestrians. The post holding the traffic signal is located in the centre of a median. Pedestrians have requested the Chennai Traffic Police to increase the pedestrian signal duration from 9 seconds to 45 seconds. In a hurry to cross the arterial stretch, pedestrians run helter-skelter, without noticing the sagging wires. Even at the entrance and exit areas, hawkers sell vegetables, fruits and various other stuff,” says A.
