Further, i also think that big corporate houses like TCS or AMD have a social responsibility towards improving the society. Most companies i have seen have policies to make this happen. I am doubtless AMD or any other big company has enough clout to make it happen "easily". Although this is subcontracted, there is a pretty hugh chunk of money involved, and so AMD (or any other big company) can easily ask the sub contractor to not cause inconvinience and ask certain measures to be taken. So, this is the route that would be most preferable, as it the most likely route to make things happen. Going the legal way would be another route (like going to Bangalore Mirror) but i can imagine that this is the hard path forward. The problem in going the legal route is, "where do you draw a line?". Parking on the road is anyway illegal. But all companies do it... The law does not distinguish between parking illegally and double parking illegally. Both are equally bad. So, it becomes a big problem to justify it legally, without involving all the other companies and transport companies who do exactly the same. But still, kudos to you to atleast do something about this. I atleast am a mute spectator, and dont know how to fix things - so all my wishes for your success in this. | |

Like someone mentioned, the root cause is lack of proper planing and we can't do much about it. So at least do our bit to not inconvenience others. Thanks for the support guys. There is some good news after all. I had mailed the AMD India management too regarding this and today the Facilities head called me to discuss the concerns. He has promised some action, so hopefully there will be some improvement. Last edited by Jaguar : 5th July 2012 at 00:27. | |

| ![]() I came to know that the stretch has been made a no parking zone. Although no boards were put up, a cop was shooing away the motorists. As long as the rule is implemented for all, good. Bit if the AMD-BMTC is given permission to park, it is like hitting below the belt. Last edited by Jaguar : 5th July 2012 at 14:40. |

" We are already on the job, yesterday we had meeting with the same guy who published, also we have gone to the BMTC asking for the parking in the BMTC bus terminus nearby." It seems there is some action. Quote:
"We've raised this point with facilities before. Fell on deaf ears. Now that someone from outside is complaining maybe it will have more effect. I've forwarded this to the relevant people."

Team-BHP Support ![]() | ![]() Coming from Marathahalli towards HAL, one lane is closed since they are laying pipes. Like a good citizen, most of us queued up. As you would know, plenty of the LCV's, indicabs, sumo's decide to go on the wrong side of the road and try to butt in when the road works end. To cout a long story short, the leader of the pack butts in and hits an Indicar holding up these guys. A cleaner from a tempo gets out to stop us and allow passage. I drive straight at him and he jumps, all other traffic join in and do not let give these folks a chance. sicne the queue backed up, I guess they were waiting a long time! Natural justice! |

| ![]() I would blame the traffic cops for setting a precedent over here by occasionally allowing traffic on both sides. So in their absence these guys feel its quite natural to drive on the wrong side. |

| ![]() Saw this update from BTP facebook page just now: KEB Works on Hosur road near Tavarekere signal has completely slowed traffic from Madiwala check post towards Dairy circle. Anyone planing to take this route, it would be advisable to take an alternate route |

| ![]() This happened a few months ago. At the junction of Lower Agram road and Victoria road, I wanted to take left (towards Lifestyle), so I was in the left lane. In front of me was this police car, which wasn't moving, even though the left turn was open (as can be seen through the windshield of the police car). I honked once, but this guy did not move. I knew, he wanted to take right, and he could not go ahead. I had enough time to try 3-4 times to take the photograph correctly (I had to time it precisely, since the green light was blinking all the time). I was right. When the lights turned green fully, he went right. ![]() -------------- I have found a way to tackle the problem at the railway crossing in front of Decathlon. I now stick to the left lane. It always moves quicker than right lane. I think it is because the right lane traffic has to give way to oncoming traffic, as well as take care of the traffic in left lane. I don't hesitate to get completely off the road on the left if required. Most cars hesitate to get off the road, because the cars might scrape their bottoms to the rocks. Luckily, I have a Palio ;-) |
