These include FOBs at : Tidel park Seevaram Perungudi PTC Quarters Near Shollinganallur Aavin Diary Akkarai road,Shollinganallur Karapakkam But do pedestrians use these Foot Over Bridges at OMR? Hardly,says an article in 'The Hindu'.The article says that of the 14 FOBs only the one at Tidel park is used frequently by pedestrians.The others are not only ignored but pedestrians often just cross the highway right beneath the FOBs unaware of the danger ahead.T...
Shollinganallur is a high traffic junction. As OMR Riders are aware this junction links OMR with ECR and often is very congested during office hours. To decrease this bottleneck , Chennai Traffic police has come up with a small innovation.. No Right Turn , Only U Turn By this new rule , commuters coming from Madhya Kailash and heading towards Kelambakkam or commuters coming from Kelambakkam and heading towards Madhya Kailash are not allowed to take right turn at Shollinganallur junction. Instead they should go straight , take a 'U' turn ,come...

Image: Kathipara flyover Times of India reports that a flyover construction has been approved by the Government to be built over OMR connecting ECR. The approval has been given by the state highways department.The flyover would start at Tidal park in OMR and end near Thiruvanmiyur RTO at ECR. Tidal park has one of the busiest traffics in the city.Almost 30,000 vehicles ply this road everyday making it cumbersome for the travellers.This flyover once constructed should ease this traffic a bit making it easier for the travellers who cross this junction dai...

Six butterflies, and on viewing from top they all look like a single giant butterfly. The 6 Engineering blocks in SIPCOT IT park owned by Tata Consultancy Services are an aesthetic retreat.Designed by an Uruguay architect named Carlos, these steel giants are designed in such a way that they can leave the first time onlookers in disbelief. Each block is built similar to Indian temples, broad at the bottom and tapering towards the top in steps: There is a giant roof on top of each block and each block has two sub-blocks called North Wing and South Wing and they are joined together in the middle with elevators .Surrounding each blocks are plants of different varieties lining up beautifully. More plants between the two wings within the blocks arranged in concentric circles just add to its beauty: Cou...
Courtesy : The Hindu Most of the roads in the suburbs of South Chennai lack pavements bringing difficulties for pedestrians.Old Mahabalipuram Road too, popularly called IT Corridor does not stand up to its name.Though it hosts quite a number of IT Companies, the pavements are not yet fully developed and are a source of complaints for residents and commuters. Bearing this in mind , The Hindu has come up with an initiative. It has asked residents and commuters in the southern suburbs of Chennai to capture images of bad pavements and mail it to them.These photos will appear in the facebook page( www.facebook.com/chennaicentral ) and also will be considered for publication in the newspaper. The details required are: Name, Contact information, Picture of yourself, Location of the pavement, Description of the issue, Action required, Image size - not more than 1.5 MB To...
