Faulty Pelican Signals Endanger Hyderabad Pedestrians

In Hyderabad, India, there are special traffic lights called Pelican signals that are supposed to help people walk safely across busy roads.

But these signals are not working properly.

At one busy spot called the Survey of India junction, one of the traffic lights for cars stays green all the time, so the cars don't stop when the walking light turns green.

This makes it dangerous for people, especially students and older adults, to cross the road.

They have to wait a long time or try to run across the road quickly, which is very risky.

This problem is happening in other places in the city too.

The city officials say the signals are working and there are cameras to catch people who don't follow the rules, but the people who use these signals every day say they are not working well.

This is a big problem because Hyderabad has a lot of people, and not enough safe places for them to cross the road.
