The number of traffic violators on Karamana -Kaliyikkavila road is increasing day by day. People travelling through this route do not stop their vehicles even if the traffic signal is red.
Traffic violations galo-re mainly at Neeram-ankara Junction and Kaimanam Junction. The following incident will shed light into the problem.
Last day I was waiting for the signal to turn green towards Karama-na from Vinayaka Nag-ar. When the signal tur-ned green I moved slowly to turned to the main road. I was shocked to see that even though the signal from Neeramankara Junction towards Papanamcode was red, three cars moved forward fast ignoring the signal.
I managed to avert an accident through sheer luck. I could not even notice the numbers of cars as all were going very fast.
I enquired to some of the residents staying nearby and also to some shopkeepers they all said to me that traffic violations are common through this route and the most suffering section of people was pedestrians.
KSRTC buses, lorries, private vehicles all violate traffic rules here. Placing CCTV cameras is the only solution to this problem.
