The City Streets of Chennai |
|
Streets in Chennai are usually crowded with pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles
(and scooters), auto rickshas (see photos) and other vehicles like buses
and personal vehicles. At stoplights or other intersections, motorists
and motorcycles will bunch up near the stop area and scramble to be first
across the intersection.
Many shops, little stands, and other commerce locations line the streets
and sidewalks. Also, beggars can be found, and some small animals and
peridically a cow or ox will be found walking in the streets or being
led.
