Commuters in Chennai are expressing frustration over the extended wait times at the Anna Nagar roundabout signal, which has a duration of about 180 seconds. While acknowledging the signal’s functionality, many find it challenging to navigate due to the absence of a free left turn. During peak hours, traffic police often switch to manual signal control, prolonging the waiting time.
Residents of Anna Nagar report spending five to seven minutes at the signal during these instances. Despite some opinions that traffic movement has improved in the last two months, concerns persist, with heavy traffic flow inevitable on this crucial stretch. The presence of cameras issuing fines for traffic violations adds layer of frustration for commuters.
