Puzhal-Perungalathur bypass road:
It has been reported that the National Highways Authority of India has abandoned the decision to construct a separate lane for two-wheelers on the bypass road from Chennai Puzhal to Perungalathur.
It has been reported that the officials have said that the decision to construct a separate lane for two-wheelers on the Chennai Bypass Road has been abandoned because if a separate lane for two-wheelers is created there is a risk of motorists driving recklessly.
Separate route for two wheelers:
It was only when the number of two-wheelers getting involved in accidents on this road was increasing that the Highways Department suggested a plan to construct a separate lane, i.e. the road block between the two roads was planned to be used constructively.
Accidents occur from time to time as two-wheelers travel on the three-lane road.
Abandoned Project:
To avoid this, it was decided to make a separate lane for two-wheelers. But officials said the project was scrapped due to the risk of cyclists engaging in irresponsible speeding and reckless driving on separate roads.
And they are of the view that there is currently no opportunity to use technology to control the cloud of vehicles on a separate road for two-wheelers.
What is the reason?
It is also noteworthy that 170 people have died in accidents on this Chennai bypass in the last seven years alone, more than half of them are two-wheeler drivers.
This is said to be due to the increase in the number of residential and motor vehicles along this highway, which has led to an increase in accidents. It was at this stage that a separate lane was planned for two-wheelers.
Two wheeler riders have said that since 2009 the Chennai Bypass has been operating since 2009 and there are not enough bus stops in the area so city buses have been banned in this area. Not enough facilities for two-wheelers.
They also complain that there are no exits anywhere in the middle of the 18 km stretch between Maduravayal and Tambaram.
More than 55,000 vehicles are plying daily on these 32-kilometer bypass roads. It is worth noting that there are exits in areas such as Ampathur Patravakkam Maduravayal Madhavaram on this road.
