A consumer body in Coimbatore has requested the city police and district administration to redesign traffic islands, citing them as causes of congestion and accidents. Citizens' Voice Coimbatore highlighted issues at key junctions, including those near the Railway Station and CMCH, where islands and encroachments restrict vehicle and pedestrian flow. The group suggested scientific redesign involving experts to improve traffic movement and road safety, and also called for removal of encroachments and better signage at specific locations.
