New traffic system at Kurichi tank - Podanur junction in Coimbatore welcomed

Motorists welcome removal of traffic signal at Kurichi tank - Podanur junction, replaced with roundabout for smoother traffic flow.

Motorists have welcomed the removal of a traffic signal and introduction of a roundabout at the Kurichi tank - Podanur junction.

Of late, the city police have been introducing roundabouts and U turns on almost all the arterial roads, thus, removing the signals. While a majority of these are welcomed, there glitches in some signals.

The roundabouts at Lawley Road, Mettupalayam Road, Chinthamani, Brooke Bond Road, Kikkani school and Ganapathy Moor Market area have been welcomed by motorists.

City Police Commissioner A. Saravana Sundar has ordered for the removal of the signal at the Kurichi tank - Podanur junction and the work for creating a roundabout is almost nearing completion. Within a week or two, the roundabout would be put to use.
