Kerala - Kochi
Back to the basics
With one of the signal posts at the busy Vyttila Junction being smashed down by a speeding vehicle recently, the traffic regulation at the junction is back to the basics.
A lone traffic police constable is left with the responsibility of manning the heavy traffic at this junction. With the Sahodaran Ayyappan Road crossing the NH-47 bypass leading onto Tripunithura, the intersection sees a torrential flow of traffic day and night. Speeding vehicles coming down the overbridge have caused many a tragic accident in this area.
So, it is a tricky situation with the traffic lights gone and the policeman left with regulating the traffic. Given the history of maintenance work, it remains to be seen when the traffic lights will start working again.
