T’puram: City police have put in place special traffic and parking arrangements in connection with National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) to be held on Sunday.
The arrangements will come into effect from 9.30am and are aimed at ensuring the smooth movement of candidates and preventing traffic congestion near examination centres across the city.
Police advised parents and guardians accompanying students to drop candidates at their respective examination centres and park their vehicles only in designated parking areas.
Vehicles should not be parked along roads in a manner that obstructs traffic or causes inconvenience to other road users.
The designated parking facilities include the Attukal parking ground, corporation parking areas, the multi-level parking facility at Kowdiar, and car parking lots at Thampanoor and Palayam.
In addition, parking will be permitted on selected stretches of roads, subject to availability of space and provided that traffic flow is not affected.
These include the left side of the road from Kuravankonam to Women’s College, Vazhuthacaud to Nandavanam, Nandavanam to Museum, Sangeetha College Road, Spencer Junction to Palayam, Pulimoodu to Ayurveda College, Attakulangara-Killipalam Road, PMG-Law College Road, Assembly-Vikas Bhavan Road, AKG General Hospital Road, Paruthippara-Kesavadasapuram Road, Jagathy-Edapazhanji Road and stretches along Model School and Panavila roads.
Vehicles can also be parked on both sides of the Kesavadasapuram-Plamoodu road where it does not hinder traffic movement.
Police have warned that vehicles parked illegally or causing traffic obstruction will be removed with the help of recovery vehicles and legal action will be taken against the owners.
City police have sought the cooperation of public and motorists in ensuring the smooth conduct of the examination and avoiding unnecessary traffic snarls.
