Chennai
Chennai the new Tech hub. Humid weather. The Masala dosas and smell of sambar in the air. Nariyal Pani. The Marina beach. The sweet smell of Jasmine garlands. The AIADMK and the Almighty JAYA. Shivaji Ganeshan and Kamal Hassan. Temples built for heroines and self-immolation bid for not getting ticket in a theater screening a Rajnikant movie. The Natural Icecreams. The temples. But what about the roads and traffic condition here? Discuss and share.

Traffic congestion may become a poll issue


Traffic hold-ups are likely to become an issue during the Chennai Corporation election next week.

Vehicle population in the city has more than doubled in four years. The number of two wheelers is 17.5 lakhs, four-wheelers about 5 lakhs and transport vehicles one lakh.

In the past two terms of the civic body, flyovers and bridges came up as a solution to decongestion. Some solutions did not advance beyond the blueprint stage. For example, the Rangarajapuram subway to connect Kodambakkam and T.Nagar did not take off for five years now. At the Vadalapani junction, vehicles coming from Kodambakkam are diverted through Ashok Nagar. A flyover at the junction of Arcot Road and Jawaharlal Nehru Road would help traffic flow, say road users.

If the Greenways Road-Durgabhai Deshmukh Road junction in south Chennai is congested, the Tirumangalam-Anna Nagar junction in central Chennai is turning into a vehicle users' nightmare.
