Pedestrians need more time to cross road at traffic signals

February 11, 2026

Sir,

While it’s a welcome move by the Mysuru City Traffic Police authorities to install additional traffic signal lights at more circles and busy junctions across the city, I wish to bring to the notice of the same authorities concerned that the time given for pedestrians to cross the road safely at traffic signals across the city is very short.

It has often been observed that the pedestrian signal lights turn from green to red in a very short time, just about 10 seconds, leaving little time for pedestrians to cross the road safely.

Hence, I earnestly request the authorities to allow more time for pedestrians to cross the road safely at the traffic signals.
