On Anna Salai, an essential instruction guides motorists approaching the Smith Road junction, emphasizing that a right turn into Whites Road from Smith Road is prohibited. This directive, communicated through a series of repetitive boards, serves as a precautionary measure ahead of the one-way rule implemented on Whites Road starting January 28 due to ongoing Chennai Metro Rail work.
Traffic marshals from Chennai Metro Rail Limited are actively educating motorists at the Whites Road-Smith Road junction, emphasizing the one-way status of Whites Road and prohibiting the right turn from Smith Road.
The warning aims to spare motorists the inconvenience of taking a circuitous route through Smith Road to reach Whites Road, necessitating a left turn at Smith Road, followed by a drive down a section of Whites Road, Westcott Road, Peters Road, and a return to Anna Salai before accessing Whites Road directly. The repetitive messaging serves as a navigational aid in negotiating the altered traffic flow.
