Signals Out, U-Turns In: Traffic Flow Improves at Pal Company Junction

Initiative to streamline rush hour traffic at key intersections in city, says road safety wing
A U-TURN system has replaced the lone traffic signal at the Pal Company Junction on the Thadagam-Anaikatti Road.
The road safety wing of the State Highways Department and the city's traffic police removed the traffic signal pole as part of a broader citywide initiative to streamline traffic at key intersections.
The decision follows months of deliberation and public feedback, which pointed to persistent traffic snarls at the junction, especially during peak hours.
The Pal Company signal, introduced during the post-COVID period to manage growing traffic volumes, ironically ended up contributing to bottlenecks rather than resolving them.
