Frequent traffic snarls near Chathiram bus stand irk motorists
The HinduFrequent traffic snarls and violations on the stretch between Karur Bypass and Chathiram bus stand in Tiruchi have raised safety concerns among road users. Ever since the bridge has been closed, the stretch between Kalaingar Arivalayam and Chathiram bus stand has been heavily congested and hindering the free flow of vehicular movement. With the road being a crucial link between the two commercial hubs — Main Guard Gate and Thillai Nagar-Sastri Road — traffic snarls turn acute during peak hours and parking of vehicles on either side of the road, which house many commercial establishments, add to the woes of the public. Considering the sharp increase in the number of vehicles plying on the road, motorists say the police should come up with a solution to ensure free flow of vehicles and regulate the traffic around the bus stand.
