Stakeholders’ meeting mooted to address traffic issues in Kozhikode city
The HinduFacing flak from the public for frequent traffic snarl-ups and the yet-to-be-improved signalling systems, a few senior police officers under the Kozhikode City traffic unit have suggested the need to convene a joint meeting of stakeholders, including people’s representatives and heads of various departments, to discuss challenges in the area and practical solutions to overcome them. A field-level study report recently prepared by the police with inputs from drivers and commuters had identified problem spots in the city and possible practical solutions. Police sources said the 23-page report had specifically mentioned about 28 locations, where focussed action would only work to address traffic issues. There were also innovative suggestions like portable traffic lights and AI-power traffic control measures, which would become a reality only through discussions with stakeholders, they added.
