How about BOT Traffic Signals and Signs? Bheema.Upadhyaya - 16-APR-2010
After seeing elevated hosur tollway, I started thinking why not BTP can try BOT with traffic signs,signals, road signs. Silly? Not really? Why? The idea/concept is to convert rule-breaking nature of people into revenue for short period, or till people become alright. Imagine every rule-break ,except non-humans :) , specially where is there is a clear signage/signal is fined/collected without fail. Example : in my short travel of 30 mins,today I noted at least 20 rule breaks where there was a signal/signage. Let us say minimum of 20*Rs. 100= Rs.2000 is fined and collected. I noted following where was clear traffic sign/signage:
1) Passing Red light : 5 2) Left turn where not allowed : 3 3) Leftmost lane vehicle right turning right. Lane is marked clearly with a " -> " sign. : 2 4) Crossing stop lines : 10 5) I did not observe for other rule-break.
