Anand, why do you want to trouble CM or your family for a constable. You always get the area ACP's number from CCTP website or call up the Commissioner(Traffic), his cell number can be googled. Just inform him the situation and see the response then! If you cannot find the number, call up the control room, they will have to link you to the concerned ACP/DCP. Quote:

BTW, before I discovered the road under Velachery flyover which goes straight to OTA, I used to take the Velachery road and found the above mentioned signal to be strange. When it is green for those coming from Velachery, I would expect it to be red for those coming from Raj Bhavan so that the former can merge onto the road without issues. But it would be green for both, leading to a mess at the junction. And if you wanted to not just merge, but cross over to the other side to go to Saidapet, it was downright dangerous to do so given the speeding vehicles coming at a right-angle at you. And when the signal is red for you, it is red for the folks from Raj Bhavan too, which was again strange because now the whole junction is free of traffic. Not sure if this has changed since. |
+1
As long as I was driving/in India (read untill Feb 2011), that status of the signal was exactly as you mentioned. I used to take this route regularly to drop mom and my vehicle's service centre is just before the signal(SMK suzuki). Not sure of the current status, well I don't think much would have changed either!
