Jaywalking emerges as major traffic hazard on Old Mahabalipuram Road

Jaywalking has become a significant traffic hazard on the Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR), according to motorists navigating the busy corridor. The practice of pedestrians crossing roads without designated walkways is creating dangerous situations and slowing traffic flow.

Motor vehicle operators have flagged the unsafe crossing behaviour as a major concern on the stretch, which handles substantial daily traffic volumes. The issue highlights the need for better pedestrian awareness and enforcement of traffic safety norms.
