Cycle risk at crucial Chingrighata crossroads on EM Bypass
The bicycle menace at the Chingrighata intersection on EM Bypass in east Kolkata continued unchecked on Sunday, a day after an accident at the crossing that left a person dead.
The Chingrighata crossing — where roads from Sector V, Beleghata and Chaulpatty meet — is one of the most busy intersections on the 29km-long Bypass.
It sees a large number of pedestrians and people on bicycles.
On Saturday, a pedestrian died and at least six, one of whom was a cyclist, were injured after being hit by an allegedly speeding car that flouted a traffic signal at the intersection.
