Productive usage of traffic policeman resource

Shalini - 4-MAR-2009

I would suggest to use the traffic policeman in a productive way by reducing the task allotted to them for catching every common man for vehicle documents. There is lot of technology improved why shouldn't the technology flow to the traffic police department.

psaram42 - 24-FEB-2009

I have wondered many times how people drive in the opposite direction in one way designated roads un-punished. The following article may be of interest in this connection which describes a similar situation in UK.

“Motoring offences are going unpunished across much of London because of an extraordinary loophole.”

 

Traffic Violations - Will this work?

srikanthml - 20-FEB-2009

Bengaluru Traffic, what a mess!!! Somehow i am convinced, that one of the key element to make a difference is to ENFORCE traffic rules.

One of the most significant and visible problems that Bangalore currently faces is traffic and the related congestion, noise and air pollution.

I had the opportunity to go through the ABIDE's "Plan Bengaluru202" on "Secure Bengaluru". This document mostly focuses on building the infrastructure for security and response to any terror threats. I am assuming this should apply to tackling natural calamities as well.

Traffic Policeman menace in bangalore

ramasada - 30-DEC-2008

I feel the Traffic Police in Bangalore in name of Traffic Management is turning into a Traffic Police Menace. I have seen them trying to catch the two wheelers all the time and taking bribe from them. Is there any mechanism available to stop this. Further I also see them stopping the Trucks and taking money from them.
