The road not taken-Congested Marine Drive Road at Puri Sea beach

Last Updated on May 3, 2024 by freewarespace

It is office time and I have to move through the side road or we call it marine drive as the road is not very sparse and there are Hotels by the side of the sea or marine drive and the to and fro road is very narrow out there and driving became extremely difficult even if I go by my electric vehicle which is a two wheeler and that road becomes more and more difficult to drive as most of four wheeled vehicles that moves in those roads are that of from neighboring states which reach travelers or moving population reach here and especially their number is on the higher side as they flock in large numbers during weekends.

This marine drive road is not the one way road but there is no divider in between it so vehicles which go to and fro tend to be cutting into the space of other vehicles so driving becomes extremely difficult. Most of vehicles that comes from outside of the states they tend to drive in between the roads and that becomes driving extremely difficult in these circumstances and that becomes the most of worrisome at these point of time. You have to be extra vigil in these circumstances while driving and as electronic vehicle tend to take the speed within splash of seconds and that makes moving and controlling vehicle extreme important as you cannot know at any point of time there can be arrival of sudden vehicles and you will have to be awake all the time while driving.

From point to point while driving through marine drive road I do find that at certain points the roads are blocked at some sides due to parking of vehicles and that makes entire movement difficult even during these smaller and narrower roads and that multiplies the situation more and more difficult as the vehicle parking at the main square has been stopped for renovation and for this more and more time the vehicles has to move towards the other vehicle parking which is near light house and that makes more and more tourists not knowing about the shifting of vehicle parking and they park all vehicles at the side of roads and that reduces the size of roads and that makes movement of vehicle extremely difficult.

In addition to it, there has been large number of autos the three wheeled vehicle which moves here and there in this marine drive roads which makes even driving in these routes more and more difficult. Suddenly they appear out of no where and you will have to be more and more careful while driving and the number of these auto vehicles are of so high in number and they tend to move in at such a high speed that most of times you will find it difficult to move on and that makes most of routes very difficult to manage and even driving in these path more and more difficult. In order to stop speeding vehicle a special type of road is being made in these spaces which make the speed of vehicles to bare minimum so that driving can become more comfortable and smoother.

Law enforcing agencies and traffic police has been doing smarter works to curb theses rush of vehicles and if at weekend you reach these marine drive roads you will find that even at some point of time nearby light house road the movement of vehicles becomes slower and slower and from point to point these roads has been covered by food vendors which narrows down the roads further while moving here and there and that makes driving more and more difficult too. The entire road need to be cleaned up and in this entire road needs to be sanitized and in these entire road no autos to be allowed so that the entire road needs to be carefully crafted and entire road should be free of any moving autos so that entire road can be freed up and entire traffics can be easily managed upon without any worries.

It is high time that movement of auto rickshaws needs to be stopped for movement in these marine drive roads needs to be stopped from Mahatma Gandhi Park or Nalco Park so that the entire marine drive road needs to be bereft of high traffic as in the entire route can move freely from here and there without any difficulties as from personal experiences I have found that all of these routes has been blocked mainly due to high number of auto rickshaws and that makes the life difficult for commuters.
