Q:Hey I’ve noticed that there are a number of traffic signals on some major roads of Coimbatore that don’t work properly. Are the authorities aware of this? Is anything being done about them?
Latest Answer: Yeah, he’s right. The city police and the corporation have indeed teamed up on this issue. This problem was actually brought up and discussed in a Traffic Advisory Committee meeting, where it was also decided that all the 51 signals in the city will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, who can use them for advertisement purposes. The problem previously was that the private parties were only selecting a handful of signals to sponsor. Some of the signals were getting completely neglected because of this. This new system will help a lot actually.
