Non-functional signals a nightmare for pedestrians

Chennai | Friday | 20th July, 2018

Summary:

Periyar Salai and South Mint Street, Park Town, have to do so at their own risk. Periyar Salai. As a result, motorists coming from Chennai Central and Egmore take a free left turn towards South Mint Street, at a high speed. Lack of functional pedestrian and traffic signals near the intersection exposes the pedestrians to the risk of being knocked down by vehicles coming from Chennai Central and Chennai Egmore. Earlier, when the stretch was a two-way, pedestrian and traffic signals near the intersection facilitated vehicular traffic from South Mint Street to reach EVR Periyar Salai and and helped pedestrains cross safely..
