Vehicles parked outside popular restaurants on Anna Salai are creating traffic snarls, especially at the GP Road-Anna Salai signal. Crossing the signal and moving towards Blackers Road through Dams Road has become a nightmare for commuters, especially at peak hours. The refurbished Bilal Hotel is attracting good crowds at lunch and evening hours, and the crowds cause bottlenecks.
Likewise, people heading to the Spencer Plaza signal from the Tamil Nadu Government Multi Super Speciality Hospital and Wallajah Road find it difficult to navigate the traffic at evenings and nights because of the vehicles parked in front of a row of hotels.
