Barring some roads like Bypass Road, Panagal Road and stretches of a few other roads, Madurai city is perhaps not renowned for its wide roads. However, even some of these wide roads seem to be often poorly maintained, thereby reducing the carriageway for the motorists. A case in point is the roughly 400-metre stretch of the New Jail Road which has electric poles placed on two uneven rows on the middle of the road, leading to confusion for the commuters. “Some vehicles, particularly trucks and other heavy vehicles, occupy the entire two-third stretch of the road, assuming that vehicles going towards Arasadi would use the remaining portion of the road between the two rows of poles. Importantly, a traffic police personnel said that the road poses a serious risk for motorists at night since the poles on the middle of the road do not have prominently-placed reflectors to show their presence.
