In fact, the sirens are for alerting pedestrians to cross.

Yesterday, I was driving down Cubbon Road in Bangalore. The countdown indicator at the Cubbon Road/Shivaji Nagar junction was present and functional.

Hope that atleast the indicators at major junctions are revived.

Yes, I did see them functional at the Ramamurthy Nagar Junction.
Looks like TBhp reached even the cops office!

Timer are now getting installed in Thane, In mumbai earlier (years back) there used to be a 3 second yellow/amber signal both way before greens and before reds. That was sufficent. Now not only have the timers in some location disappeared but the amber period too has not come back.
