A short report: I saw a traffic policeman giving a challan to a BMTC bus that was parked awkwardly on the down ramp from Marathalli bridge. Excellent start. I want to see challans for improper parking at bus stops, illegal U-turns, ignoring lane discipline etc. |

Wrong entry by motorists causing dangerous situation at new Kadugodi flyover Ramesh Menon - 17-AUG-2010
The new flyover at Kadugodi opposite to Brindavan ashram is proving a great help to all commuters in terms of saving time and travel comfort. However, a minor design flaw has already created a dangerous driving situation there. Drivers, especially of autos and bikes are wrongly entering the bridge without taking the u-turn designated for them causing accidents. |

Interesting video summarizing pedestrian infrastructure problems in India blrpraj - 9-AUG-2010
I am not sure if this has been posted before on Praja, did some searching and could not find it, hence i am posting it. I found an interesting video on the problems faced by pedestrians in Pune. This is very much applicable to any Indian city. I would rate this as one of the best (& captivating) short movies/documentaries I have seen in my entire life. |
