Illegal parking exacerbating Tiruchy's traffic woes

THE choked traffic flow in four of the city's thoroughfares is exacerbated by neither the many commercial establishments dotting the stretches nor the corporation offering dedicated parking spaces, complain vehicle users, pedestrians and residents alike, demanding favourable action.

While the many commercial establishments failing to provide dedicated parking spaces is blamed for their customers parking illegally on the busy Karur bypass road and Thillai Nagar junctions as well as the Ariyamangalam-Thiruverumbur road, fingers are pointed to the visitors to the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital (MGMGH) for the unauthorised parking of vehicles at Puthur junction. The junction connects EVR Road with Woraiyur.
