The roads of Chennai is full of chaotic activities, unreasonable things are happening all the time, but somehow everything gets even at the end of the day.
Sometimes the drivers think to stop or not to stop in a signal. RED signal the driver is looking for the traffic cop (TC) , if there aren’t one then wizzzzz-off the road. So the RED signal becomes unimportant but the TC is.
Pedestrians crossing the signal, even though the GREEN MAN is blinking they can’t cross as they are in the mercy of the vehicles, elder people don’t even get in the road as there are hungry cabs waiting to take you. Sometimes its other way around, the pedestrians crosses the road even its RED MAN, they just hold one hand up to stop the incoming traffic and do a cat walk.
Most of the roads don’t have a foot-path, so walking in the road and getting home without brushing two-wheeler is luck. Even if there is a foot-path, some pedestrians won’t walk on it or it will be used by the shops, there is something called Nadai Pathai Viyabarigal Sangam, Association meant for foot-path shops.While writing this article one of my friend shared a link in Facebook, a short film regarding the traffic and civic sense in Vadodara, similar things does happen in Chennai too.
