Except for Chintamani junction, none of the junctions on Kilpauk Garden Road has a pedestrian crossing. On these junctions, pedestrians have to risk themselves while crossing important traffic points like the small roundtana at Pulla Avenue Road, near the Kilpauk Cemetery and New Avadi Road junction.
According to the police, the stretch is less congested compared to PH Road and Poonamallee High Road as it does not have a profusion of commercial establishments. However, the stretch has a large number of clinics and hospitals.
“Due to the ongoing Metro Rail work on Poonamalle High Road, the Kilpauk Garden Road is used to reach the western and north-western parts of the city.
The flow of vehicles, especially two-wheelers, have increased in the last few years,” said G. Suganth, a resident of Kilpauk.
