Vyttila traffic takes a new turn
The Hindu
With less number of vehicles on the road, things go on as planned on Day 1
The week-long traffic reforms introduced on an experimental basis at Vyttila on Sunday went on as planned, according to the traffic police.
The number of vehicles on the road was lesser than normal since it was Sunday, and with people staying indoors due to the high test positivity rate for COVID-19.
“Our prime aim was to lessen the need for vehicles to criss-cross each other beneath the Vyttila flyover and to overcome the chaos caused by vehicles coming in four lanes from Palarivattom and Ponnurunni (through the Vyttila railway bridge underpass) having to jostle for space on the Thripunithura side of the flyover. This was largely achieved on Sunday when the reforms were introduced. We will closely monitor the situation on Monday and the other days of the week as well,” said City Traffic Police (East) ACP Francis Shelby, based on the feedback received till Sunday evening.
