Commuters voice concern over insufficient traffic regulations near Women and Child Hospital
Commuters in Puducherry are expressing frustration over severe traffic congestion near the Women and Child Hospital due to a lack of traffic signals and police regulation. Local residents report that motorists are increasingly using residential streets to bypass major intersections, creating safety hazards.
Why it matters
Inadequate urban infrastructure and traffic management in growing areas can lead to significant public safety risks and daily logistical challenges for residents.
Commuters have voiced their concern over insufficient traffic regulations near the Women and Child Hospital at Ellaipillaichavady in Puducherry.
The absence of a traffic signal and irregular posting of police personnel to streamline the movement of vehicles at the junction in front of the hospital have become a cause for concern for motorists.
The junction has become more congested these days after many motorists coming from the town have started avoiding Rajiv Gandhi and Indira Gandhi signals to reach Vazhudhavur and Villupuram roads. Motorists now prefer travelling through residential areas of Sathya Nagar, Anna Nagar, and Saradambal Nagar to reach the junction at Women and Child Hospital before moving towards Villupuram and Vazhudhavur roads.
“Many road users have started taking the roads in residential areas in and around the Women and Child Hospital to commute to the town, Villupuram, and Vazhudhavur roads”, Ramalingam, a resident of Thirumal Nagar said.
