Why are traffic lights at Agara flyover and 19th Main not operational?

by
When the traffic lights are not operational, why put them there? That’s the question the residents are asking the authorities. This has happened at Nandini Cooljoint junction (which we have reported earlier) and also under the Agara flyover. Residents have seen that these lights have been non functional for the last many months.
 
But the traffic cops contend that the 19th Main junction doesn’t need traffic lights because of the rerouting of traffic at the 17th Cross and 22nd Cross junction. “It will be a mistake if they install or make the traffic lights operational here,” says former HSR traffic inspector Rao Ganesh Janardhan who had masterminded this traffic management idea. That the vehicle users are violating the one-way rule should not make us give up this idea, say the traffic cops.
 
But what about the non-operational traffic lights under the Agara flyover? “I had got them installed when I was around, but before I could complete the project, I was transferred,” says Rao Ganesh. “These traffic lights will work only after the Agara Service Road (the road opposite Agara village) is made one-way, but the apartments along that road opposed as they have to go ahead, take a U-turn and come back on to the Outer Ring Road if they were headed towards HSR or Silk Board. But we have to do this to ease traffic at this junction.”
