Projects to Ease Traffic Congestion in Chennai to Be Launched Soon
The Tamil Nadu government is set to implement key projects to reduce traffic congestion in Chennai. A high-level committee recently discussed solutions, with plans to improve roads and construct new bridges.
Parking issues and encroachments remain major concerns. Experts suggest adopting a parking fee system for unauthorized parking, similar to Mumbai’s model. Officials emphasize the need for a coordinated traffic management approach, involving multiple departments and stakeholders, including auto and taxi drivers, NGOs, and public representatives.
Experts highlight that addressing the rising number of private vehicles is crucial for effective traffic management. Authorities are expected to take steps to prioritize public transportation and enhance road infrastructure to ease congestion.
