Summary:
There is a police outpost on the crossing with several policemen but rules are being violated with impunity.Vehicles coming from Vibhuti Khand do not care about traffic regulations and drive on the wrong side, endangering motorists coming from Polytechnic Crossing, near Eastend (Wave) Mall.Besides, the only cut on the stretch after Lohia Crossing is at Polytechnic Crossing. For example, vehicles coming from Vibhuti Khand and Polytechnic Crossing make U-turn near Wave Mall just to avoid the long stretch which continues till Lohia Crossing.Rules are disregarded mostly to save time and fuel, commuters say. As a result, drivers ply on the wrong side to reach nearby destinations. The distance between the two points is more than 3km. At the second instance, the period of imprisonment is increased to two years or fine amount to Rs 2,000.In addition, instead of going around the island to turn for their destination, commuters are seen taking wrong U-turns at the crossing for connecting roads..
