CHENNAI : The city police has restricted parking on two stretches in the service road at Marina Beach for the convenience of morning walkers, starting today. Vehicle parking will not be allowed on the service road from Gandhi Statue to the spot opposite the office of the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board. Another stretch that has been banned for vehicle parking is from Thiruvalluvar statue to Kannagi statue. The ban will be enforced from 5 am to 8 am every day.

Vehicles will be allowed for parking on the Kamarajar Salai opposite the DGP Office and on the service road between the spot opposite to the slum clearance board office and the Thiruvalluvar statue. The place behind Kannagi statue will also be allowed for parking during these hours. Police said the measure was taken in view of the demands from the morning walkers.

A senior police officer told Express, “At least 1,500 people use the service road for morning walks and they find it difficult with the vehicles parked haphazardly on the stretch. So we have reserved particular stretches for about a kilometer exclusively for walking in the morning hours.” Police on Monday installed banners declaring the ‘walking zone’ on the service road. Vehicle parked in violation of the new rule will be removed from the spot, police said
