Work starts on Green Corridor concept in C'batore

01 Nov 2012 CW Team

Coimbatore City Traffic Police in association with the city-based Analog and Digital Labs has commenced work on synchronising nine traffic signals on Mettupalayam Road to bring in the Green Corridor concept on the lines of the recently-introduced concept on Avanashi Road.

Shyam Jude of Analog and Digital Labs said that preliminary consultations and assessment of traffic pattern and density were over as advised by City Police Commissioner AK Viswanathan and Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime and Traffic) T Senthilkumar.

Green Corridor system with synchronised signals introduced on Avanashi Road worked well initially enabling a motorist travelling at 45 kmph speed either from Uppilipalayam signal to Airport Junction or vice-versa to complete the stretch in a maximum of 20 to 22 minutes as against the 45 minutes time taken earlier.

A motorist getting a green signal at one of the junctions would be able to proceed non-stop at other signals, provided he or she maintained a speed limit of 45 kmph.

Even if the motorist could not maintain the speed limit and got a red signal at one of the signals, he or she should be able to get into the green corridor mode from subsequent signals. The green corridor concept covered the 11.5 km stretch with 13 signals. Police convinced the people on the need for bringing in new signals to regulate the flow of traffic.
