This is a very narrow street called Kasi viswanathar koil street connecting Gandhi street to Madley subway road, open only for 2 wheelers. It is a natural left turn from Gandhi street while one has to cut through traffic going towards Madley subway to enter from the other end. That end had even a No Entry sign board for some time as the motorists didn’t realise that there is another route also which is just 200m extra. Motorists seem to feel that they should go back through the same route they came out from! They neither gain much in terms of saved distance as well as time. Tension mounts during peak hours.
In Chennai it is normal to see over-flowing dust bin and clean dusbin with litter all around. Some search for bin, some don’t. But everything affects traffic, in a way!
Public parking, Narrow bridge, careless motorists, unusable platforms, heavy traffic and women, children and elderly people as pedestrians is the worst mix you can imagine. But a careful motorist has to be more careful. Any mishap, he will be lynched even if it is not his fault! That is Chennai!!
This is Karaneewsarar Pagoda street in Mylapore. Road space is occupied permanently by these vehicles so much so that road laying work is always partial. Platform is not available to the pedestrians. Some part of the platform is occupied by vehicles by considerate(!) owners who don’t want to occupy road space!!
