In general, I think the Chennai Traffic Police do a great job! I'm particularly happy with the traffic flow being managed in a reasonably good / efficient manner despite all the infra constraints..
But I fail to understand 2 key issues: i) why they place barricades all over the place on key roads like the ECR - this is postively dangerous! I have a close friend of mine who lost both his mother and wife in an accident that is directly attributable to such a lousy arrangement
ii) In many places, to take a right turn, one is forced to take a left turn, go several 100 meters,take a U-turn and then come back all the way; I don't understand the logic behind this. I think they should push for intelligent signals rather than adopt such sub-optimal via-media solutions....
