While the stretch on Malad link road can pride itself for being a shoppers and foodies delight, the long perennial crawling traffic from Mindspace junction to Mith Chowky ends up leaving the commuters cringing.
“It’s a nightmare to travel on this stretch as one can find all sorts of traffic violations here, which end up slowing down traffic movement. Autorickshaw drivers keep cutting lanes to pick passengers from malls and restaurants and some even wait outside these establishments creating bottlenecks,” said Naman Shah, Kandivali resident, adding that the Metro barricades have only further aggravated the issue.
Meanwhile, traffic police officials complained that traffic movement on this stretch was affected more so due to Metro barricades that have taken up a sizable portion of theroad. “Our staff is placed at crucial spots to ensure smooth traffic movement,” said a Malad trafficofficial.
