In addition, the traffic department has installed orange plastic bollards near the entry and exit points of bridges. "We observed confusion at the turns of bridges, with vehicles coming from the wrong side. The orange bollards will prevent this," an officer explained. Bollards have been installed near Vakola Bridge and Santa Cruz, among other major bridges, and the police report that drivers are now less confused at these junctions.
