citizens of calicut have a sigh of relief, as traffic signal lights are
being installed at all busy junctions in a phased manner. Already it has
been commissioned at the Mavoor Rd(I G Road)-Rajaji Rd. Jn., near the
Moffusil Bus Stand. This has helped to regulate the traffic, methodically
and has brought about discipline among drivers especially of Private Buses
who intrude into the left lanes blocking a free left turn. Unfortunately the
signals are placed on the right side at eye-level so that drivers on the
left lanes are not able to pick it up in time disabling left turn at times.
The high altitude signal indicators does not serve the purpose as it can
be viewed only by the vehicle in front when heavy vehicles array in the
lane. Also the pedestrian crossing-enabled indicators are positioned for
viewing perpendicular to the road only. General opinion is that the left
turn signals are to be placed on the left side and pedestrian
crossing-enabling warning light should be changed to 'yellow icon flashing'
and then only pedestrians as well as drivers can infer it from a distance. |
