it is right that people drive badly in bangalore. but there two more reasons for trafic congestion.
1. narrow roads with too many intesection at small distances
2.trafic police in bangalore does not know how to regulate trafic.they need to trained first than drivers. no where in the country u see trafic police asking u to come in opposite lane when there is green signal. second thing is they will allow traic in one direction for 3-5 min stoping it in other directions. generally it should be 30-45 sec not more than that in each directions. even the trafic lights have 180 sec timer for each direction. it is ridiculous. if one is forced to stop for three to five min human tendency is to jump the signal. they should make all junctions with trafic lights and make it 30-45 sec in each direction. u can notice it your self. just see in a trafic junction if the lights are not working then there will more jam as the police will be allowing vehicles for 5 even six minutes in each direction
one more thing is u have signal for left turn( it is free every where in the country except where there is a lane joining in) but in banaglore u have to wait. the driver who has to pass straight or turn right will come in extreme left and block the left turners also. similarly in t junctions u have to wait for signal for straight drive. these things are unique to bangalore |
