KOCHI: A special package to modify all the traffic signals in the city will be proposed to the government by the district administration soon. The project will be completed within three months of receiving the state government’s permission, said district collector P I Sheik Pareeth.The plan will be designed to repair a defective signal within 24 hours. Pareeth also said that a special committee will be formed to monitor illegal autorickshaw stands and parking. The committee will consist of ACPs, RTO and members of local self-governments. Kochi City Police commissioner M R Ajith Kumar said that traffic surveillance cameras will be installed on all major roads in Kochi. Since there has been a steep increase in the number of instances of traffic violation, stringent action will be taken against the offenders, he added. Parking will not be allowed on the side of the road from Palarivattom to Kakkanad. Encroachments on footpaths will be removed with immediate effect using revenue recovery funds. The side markings and zebra crossings will be made clear on all city roads within a fortnight, Ajith Kumar added.
