“No lights for twenty kilometres,” says a traffic police personnel about Vandalur-Kelambakkam Road. That statement ignored the fact that high-mast lamps have been planted in the median at certain key junctions (examples include Kolapakkam and Kandigai) and around educational institutions (examples include Tagore Engineering College, Sri Balaji Polytechnic College, Ramanujar Engineering College and Sri Balaji Arts and Science College). But these high-mast lights (some not so high) but they are few in number, some only partly functional, and collectively, cannot undo that damning remark. For all practical purposes, it is a road plunged in darkness. What gives the poor lighting on the road its barbed-wire deadliness is a structural design element on the ground: the low median. It is so low that even a gnat can put all its six legs in one gentle heave, its wings kept folded in a resting state. Do not parse that idea; that is hyperbole, but you get the point. Except for a 400-metre stretch in Vengambakkam where a high median exists, Vandalur-Kelambakkam Road has a dangerously low median that leaks bipeds (human bipeds) quadrapeds (stray cattle), often taking motorists by round-eyed surprise. Dedicated road-crossings become a joke when every point of the median can be forded with the least of efforts.
