Three U turns replacing right turn decongest busy junctions anna Salai in Chennai
On a wide road, creating a U-turn as replacement for a right turn disabled at a junction is usually a five-finger exercise. With sufficient space on tap, this exercise is usually predisposed to success.
The only thing that remains to be seen is whether the will to tap into this option exists. On Anna Salai, this option has been exercised at three junctions, with impressive results.
The most recent of the three is the U-turn created in front of Victoria Technical institute as a replacement for the disabled right turn at Spencer’s junction. Similar arrangements on Anna Salai are found around the Wallajah Road junction and the Teynampet junction.
While residents are worried over deaths due to diarrhoea in Vijayawada, officials still grapple to find the root cause. Contaminated drinking water supplied by VMC officials is the reason, insist people in the affected areas, but officials insist that efforts are on to identify the disease and that those with symptoms other than diarrhoea too are visiting the health camps.
