Chennai: Residents and motorists of late have complained about the rising nuisance of illegal parking right near the entrance of a mall on Arcot Road, Chennai.
This has affected traffic movement, especially during rush hours.
Motorists say autos and private cabs are parked here, making it difficult for others to ride with ease. The problem rises further during weekends, they say.
“Ever since the mall was opened, autos and other private cabs park here. Before they used to wait for passengers near the Vadapalani bus stop,” a motorists said.
With rising traffic on this stretch, residents feel that regulating and ensuring stricter actions against parking is the need of the hour. They have also voiced the need for creating a pedestrian-crossing zone near the mall. A traffic police said, “Steps will be taken soon to ensure better traffic movement.”
