Weekend and festival jams persist on two stretches of GST Road in Chennai

The Hindu  

Despite the widening of the Grand Southern Trunk Road and the improvement in traffic management, the gateway to the southern Tamil Nadu continues to suffer from traffic congestion at weekends and festival seasons. For instance, omni-buses should not take this route, but they halt in the middle of the road near the Tambaram railway station blocking the carriageway.” A bus stand was opened at Tambaram a few years ago near the Madras Export Processing Zone, but it is not used properly, locals say. The distance between the railway station and the bus stand is one kilometre and so Metropolitan Transport Corporation and other buses stop near the terminus, leading to traffic congestion, they point out. Some of them even travel in two-wheelers to so far as Madurai.” “During the festival season, we deploy 300 police personnel to regulate traffic at Tambaram and Perungalathur to ensure hassle-free travel.
