Summary:
It is indeed like passing through the eye of a needle. If every intersection and road were to have a fitting analogy, the one about “threading a needle” should fit the intersection of Gowdiamutt Road and Royapettah High Road. As it connects Royapettah High Road in Mylapore with Peter’s Road in Royapettah, the intersection bustles with traffic through most hours of the day. The majority of pedestrians using the intersection and the hospital junction are patients of the government general hospital and their relatives there and traders in the locality. Interestingly, the flyover over the hospital junction is largely underutilised with many motorists choosing to drive through the hospital junction and the narrow intersection to localities like Mylapore, Thousands Lights, Triplicane and Royapettah..
