It’s a week since the Chennai Traffic Police introduced a new traffic arrangement, on a trial basis, to de-congest a stretch of OMR, especially near Tidel Park. Expect for a small section of people in Kanagam, for whom the new arrangement involves taking a circuitous route, the feedback has been positive. Based on the feedback from these residents, we removed the barricade leading to CSIR Road. According to this arrangement, vehicles coming from SRP Tools take the service lane to reach the IT companies on the stretch and beyond. Fifty-six traffic signals became defunct after cyclone Vardah (the city has 380 signals).
