Forced Unsecure Violation on a Safety Measure

Chennai - Guindy - Railway Station SubWay.

I was moving back from Airport after receiving my sister from US. I was dropped at the Guindy Estate Side on our way back home from Airport. I parked my bike on the other side of the railway station as this will be easy to reach my place of velachery. It was around 11:30 PM. I went to cross the road using the subway, I witnessed the closed subway. When inquired about this to a Auto Wala, “the subway will be closed at 10 pm every day. I was left with a great question, “How to cross the road?”. There is no other subway to cross the road and Every one in chennai know how our drivers will drive at that hour in the pretty broad GST road.

Soon I was witnessing people crossing the road.

I too have no other way, since I have to walk down another 200 m [ guessing] south to see a pedeastrain crossing which our drivers will notice at this point of time on their driving.

The traffic and police has to look for some better ways to do these kind of closure of subways at nights. There will be more people crossing the road at this juncture [ my assumption].

why should a subway be closed after 10 PM? I am looking for answers……
