There is an urgent need for a paradigm shift on two counts. Firstly, shift focus from road widening to junction improvement. Secondly, shift focus to create parking infrastructure.

Some practical suggestions for Traffic/Pollution

psaram42 - 16-FEB-2009

One of the most significant and visible problems that Bangalore currently faces is traffic and the related congestion, noise and air pollution. On our Bangalore roads, we routinely see many accidents, fights, noise from engine and honking, pollution from smoke spewing vehicles, damage to health, complaints and frustration.
