See the  fly over map in Thirumangalam Town which is in the high way from Madurai town to Courtalam and tirunelveli town and other south side towns. (Kanyakumari,Nagercoil,Tuticorin and even to Trivandrum.  

The above fly over in Thirumangalam Town which is in the high way from Madurai town via rajapalayam,srivilliputhur to Courtalam and tirunelveli town and other south side towns. (Kanyakumari,Nagercoil,Tuticorin and even to Trivandrum. 

One who is going to courtallam via Rajapalayam will have to go in the left side road and travel five kilometers and then go under the flyover to reach the correct road.   But people who are knowing that courtallam is on the right side and Virudhunagar and Tuticorin and Tirunelveli are in left side will be confused  at this road juncture and will be roaming in these roads for another half an hour unnecessarily inside the Thirumangalam town asking everybody where is the Rajapalayam road .

People who are coming from Chennai and other north state towns are suffering a lot here roaming here and there unnecessarily asking everybody the correct road.

The people who are having a map or a laptop with google map/wikimapia facility are more suffering.   By map they think that Rajapalayam, courtallam,Tenkasi are in right side and the towns virudhunagar,Tuticorin, Tirunelveli,Kanyakumari are in left side.    But this flyover is instructing them to go left for Rajapalayam and right for Virudhunagar etc.  After half an hour of tension and roaming the confusion will be cleared.

 Thanks to Thirumangalam people for guiding the travellers patiently.

Why that unnecessary fly over extra while two straight roads are enough there?  One will not imagine that there will be a vertical cutting flyover after five kilometers.

In Kaththibara junction at Guindy,Chennai the fly over is confusing the two wheelers and make them entangled with lorries that are coming from any one of the curved branches.  Result is death.  It happens often there.

You may think that one can go slow but you cannot go below 40 kms as some speeding vehicle behind will kick you out.   So in fear and madness you will go in speed.   And you cannot go to the extreme left to safeguard you as there is a paraphet wall and at some places you are at a height of twenty feet and you cannot even fly as you don't have any feathers.
