Police place barricades to prevent speeding at an intersection in Guindy

To prevent motorists from speeding and check accidents, Chennai Traffic Police have placed barricades at the intersection of Anna Salai, Muthu Kumaraswamy Naicker (MKN) Road and Grand Southern Trunk (GST) Road, Guindy.

Nine plastic and steel barricades have been placed at the intersection. It may be recalled that the issue was reported in The Hindu Downtown sometime ago. Earlier, motorists coming from MKN Road as well as Anna Salai would take a free left turn at high speed to reach GST Road, which had resulted in minor accidents.

“The move by the police to place barricades and deploy more personnel at the junction is heartening. We hope that motorists will follow lane discipline and not speed,” says S. Subramanian, a motorist.

Intersection surface should be re-laid

Moreover, motorists have also complained that bitumen coating at the section of the thoroughfare near the intersection has worn off.

Officials of Zone 13 have promised to attend to these problems at the earliest.
