Guardrails makes New Town artery dangerous
The stretch of the Major Arterial Road in New Town where a young man and a woman on a scooter were run over on Saturday night has a series of guardrails on the carriageway, which force vehicles to zigzag dangerously.
The Telegraph visited the accident spot — near the Kolkata Gate intersection, where a pedestrian subway complex is being built — on Monday afternoon and found that guardrails painted in blue and white had swallowed a large part of the road space.
The vehicles headed towards the airport from Sector V were not only having to take a sharp left turn at the intersection but also zigzag their way past the guardrails. The vehicles headed from the Unitech intersection towards the airport, too, had to zigzag through another set of guardrails.
