Pedestrian crossing and 3.5 seconds or less than 5 seconds.
When you get down in Egmore station and reach dinathanthi signal, the time you were given is about
3.5 or less than 5 seconds. Below given is the all possible way of traffic you have to negotiate when you need to cross the signal, bear in mind this is in morning. I didnt mention about the evening.
It is difficult and hard to cross the motorists who stop their vehicles almost on or over or after the zebra crossing/pedestrian crossing. And then you have to be aware of the free left from
e.v.k. Sampath road to e.v.r. Periyar road. All to be done in 3.5 seconds and in the evening it will be more worse. There is no proper painting of pedestrian crossing in the road which should be given added brightness and maintained periodically so that it can make the motorists to think back before they stop their vehicles disturbing or almost blocking the pedestrians who were crossing.
The traffic signals should not only be placed in the middle of the junction rather it can be placed on
either side of the junction and at the middle of the road too where we can see in the mount road to
ensure the visibility of the signal to the motorists and also to make them avoid to rushing through the
signal. Bigger brighter signals with sound alarm or with music which can get the attention of the
motorists can also be placed. This is very similar to the announcement in the railway stations or in the
airports where the information are given after a short music tone.
Yes it is not possible to provide an over bridge. But how the overbridge facilitates the crowd commuting from moore market suburban train station to park station and vice versa?
Autos and other two wheelers taken it granted to take wrong route in the way the MTC buses get into the bus bay. Even sometimes few autos are parked in the main E.V.R periyar road to look for savaaris.
So considering this, it is better to cross the road in the CMDA junction and walk besides the church pedestrian path when you are approaching to the egmore railway station. And also to take the church pedestrian path in coming out of the station and to cross in the CMDA junction to take E.V.R periyar road which is less risky and have some breathing time to cross the signal.
