Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Arre yaar what is the use of putting traffic signals also? At most of the major intersections that are blessed with traffic lights, the signal is manually controlled by traffic police! Even then, the traffic for which light turns red stops only when traffic from other side barges in. Some poor pedestrians always get caught in the middle of all this drama. I cant help but be bemused at the state of matters here. Traffic lights that can re-time themselves based on traffic flow have been in existence for almost a decade now, and yet, we have the traffic police here operating these manually, instead of enforcing simple traffic rules like not jumping traffic light or crossing the white line. |

| ![]() why not form a group of our own ? team bhp group and say man all busy traffic signals on a rotational basis, through out bangalore and also bring about awareness among the people ? I know it is of tall order, what with the attitude of us 'chalta hain' indians ? This will also be our bit towards the betterment of society in general. Quote:

![]() New Airpot road, I found only a single speed breaker in the entire Hebbal flyover to the trumpet flyover (almost 24 kms stretch) ! Did they add more in the last 5 days ? Last edited by shajufx : 26th March 2009 at 16:30. | ||

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() You can find all the info here Bangalore City Traffic Police - Traffic Warden Organisation (T.W.O) Quote:
![]() No buddy, its one Mr.Sxxxx Babu. He has done a ton of things for the bangalore city traffic most of them being the 'first of its kind' in the state. Very frankly, present situation sounds like a 'given up' stage by many in the authority ! Thats shocking. Think about the number of new vehicles that come on road each day ?!! Now we have around 33 laks vehicles within Bangalore city alone. I cant think about another 50,000 or more Nanos coming to the roads in few months !! ![]() Lets think about something collectively, there is no other way out !

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Any city, regardless of the country or district, doesnt survive without good human beings around ! Every city has its own good and bad part too. There is nothing anyone can do about certain things, that are beyond control. What you can do about your city ? Do you take any efforts to do any good to the place you live in ? If you can answer that well, yes, there is some point talking about things here. Otherwise its either an offence or a complaint that sound like a broken record. Life doesnt end there. Professionaly I get only weekends to do something for the society/city/people around ! I am taking the maximum possible ways to interact with the city through my club and my connections (much bigger than some of you can imagine !!). Its with a big ZERO reward and recognition, but its something that I will cherish till I die. My signature is always the same everywhere as marked below. Bangalore lacks the 'consideration for others', 'respect for others', road sense, citizen responsibility, that were seen upto few years back. Now what you see on the road is just a reflection of all that. So, before it gets totally out of hand, its better to do something. Individual efforts are the 'trend setting' things that can succeed, nothing else ! If everyone can contribute something to it, it becomes a successful attempt.

| ![]() I was sick of reading the rants in this thread - so I changed my office timings: I leave for office at 11:30AM and leave office at 8:30PM. Result - my travel time cut down by 50%. Hardly any traffic on roads. I guess when all ranters (who are the cause of somebody else's rants) are busy scribbling here, I am on road ![]() Quote:
