Stopping vehicles at the Traffic Signals in Ashok Nagar is becoming a nightmare to the drivers. Just as you stop the vehicle at the red signal, few people gets onto the road and approach the vehicles – ladies with kids, kids, beggars… the list goes on.
The photo was taken at the signal near Udayam Theatre. You can see a three member team in the rear view mirror. One person is blind and the other two are accompanying him carrying a collection box. Even though there is a police outpost at this signal, these people carry on with their business. One of them claimed that police has allowed them collect money at this signal.
This practice common in Mumbai and new to Chennai can cause unnecessary traffic jam and accidents.
