With enormous traffic growth on Vyttila Junction and on roads that lead to the intersection on Friday and Saturday, despite traffic reforms that are jointly introduced by the police and the engine Vehicles Department (MVD), there is an increasing demand from NGOs, bus managers and others to re-divorce the connection.

If someone who observed the traffic stream through the intersection on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, ThaMmy VR, chairman of Vytila ​​United Forum, said that the recent installation of barricades at the intersection on the east side of Sa Road to defend the free bend to the left left, led in the formation of a serpentine quarrel rows of vehicles. “Het is de hoogste tijd dat belanghebbenden, waaronder de National Highways Authority of India, Kochi Corporation, en de openbare werkende afdeling samen met de politie en de MVD zaten en stappen kalkten zoals de verbreding van vrije linker bochten om de knooppunt te decongesteren in plaats van de kankergeluiden te installeren. Dit, en de haken van u-turn-out van de flyverto- en westerse sides en ook On the Eastern and Western sides and also in Western and Western sides and Western sides and Western sides and also the Western sides and Western sides, Stroomline the flow of vehicles that now have to wait for multiple signal changes to Criss about the intersection of what such reform has helped the Knooppunt for the Knooppunt for the Knooppunt for the Knooppunt for the Knooppunt for the Kooppunt for the Kooppunt for the Kooppunt for the Kooppunt for the Op Palarivom for the Baptoppunt.

Socio-political activist Foji John demanded that the police punish private buses and others who block the free left turn from Alappuzha to Sa Road and on the east side of Sa Road by parking immediately. “For their part, the Nhai, the PWD [NH wing]Kochi Corporation and the PWD [Roads wing] Must take urgent steps to erase bottlenecks and broaden all turns to the left. “

As the MVD and other agencies have decided during a meeting mentioned by the Minister of Transport, the size of the massive Medians under the six-lane flyover must be reduced and a few U-turns are carved by the large unused space under the viaduct. In addition, high-mast lights must be installed on the accident-sensitive Thykoodam Junction, where vehicles take turns, he added.

Traffic reforms by the MVD and the police that produced results at Kalamassery and Edappally have failed in Vyttila, said KB Suneer, an office carrier of the Private Bus Operators’ Association (PBOA). “The recent reforms have resulted in the queue of vehicles from Vyttila that sometimes extend to Elamkulam. Apart from widening the bell countries at Vyttila Junction, the Vyttila Mobility Hub Society [VMHS] And other agencies involved must take steps to make optimum use of the 25-hectare mobility stores to streamline the access and exit of buses and other vehicles. ”

In the meantime, a senior MVD officer said that the short-term plan to redevelop Vyttila Junction, could only be implemented if the state government would approve a £ 1-crore project that the PWD had submitted. “It was aimed at reducing the size of the median and the roundabout under the viaduct, so that this space can be added to the roadway,” he added.

The Junction Development Plan will be discussed on Tuesday during a meeting in Thiruvananthapuram, will be taught.

A senior traffic police officer said that the movement of vehicles could be smoothed by the intersection if motorists could adhere to the lane discipline, and in turns were widened with the free left and clearly defined. “The new traffic reforms will be further refined on the basis of feedback from all road users, including from pedestrians,” he added.
