Can Insurance laws strengthen enforcement? 05/07/08 03:00 - silkboard
Over an year ago, I was driving not so fast not so slow, near the hard median of a road, when I spotted a bold biker riding on the 'wrong' side. Right around then, an impatient cab (Sumo) following behind decided to pass me from the left, the overtaking action putting him on a collision course with the wrong-way biker. The biker sensed trouble and tried to 'filter' through us. But in between his confused maneuvers, the bike slipped, fell, and I found the man and machine directly ahead of me. Hard median to my right, heavy-metal Sumo on my left, I didn't have much to do or think, I braked hard, real hard, and stopped just short of the fallen human and machine waiting to be crushed. person silkboard's post | forum 6 Comments | Read More

BRTS – Certainly Possible & Can be Seamlessly Integrated too ! 05/06/08 06:55 - Naveen
Planning BRT Corridors along narrower
/congested roads & areas can be done by using up only one lane
about 12-ft wide for one-way flows whilst using a similar lane on a
different road for the return journey. This also has the advantage of
wider coverage thrown in for the benefit of commuters. On wider roads,
Syamese-twin pairs of bus-ways can be planned with overtaking facility
at some bus stops for express /skip-stop services (20 ft width corridor
would be required at bus stops for this, but they can be staggered on
up & down directions to prevent 40’ width of the road at any given
point from being used up).

05/05/08 15:38 - kiran8Work on the Metro Rail on MG Road has begun to progress ....Looking back..... A bird’s eye view of the Parade Grounds had a grassy central area and a large body of water at one corner, surrounded by dense vegetation on its south-western periphery. That brief verdant section, after the rains, momentarily took you to the lush richness of the Malnad. In more recent times, separating the historic military grounds and the road is a splendorous evergreen bush bearing purple-pink flowers, and a walkway. The radiant plant has a hoary background. A French Navy Admiral, Louis Antoine de Bougainville, ‘discovered’ it growing in wild splendour in Brazil in 1768. He carried the exotic plant to the western world from where it eventually found its way to British India, and the famous embankment on South Parade. person kiran8's post | forum 8 Comments | Read More

Naan nimmana touch maadna? Tragic consequences. 05/05/08 03:27 - s_yajaman
Challenge anyone driving fast in a residential area and chances are you will get this response - naan nimmana touch maadna (did I touch you?) as if that is the only measure of safe driving. Here are the tragic consequences of this sort of attitude. One life snuffed out because of some idiot who thought that driving fast is his birthright and as long as he does not touch anyone (more precisely he has not hit anyone so far) he is driving perfectly safe. These people were not running across a road or crossing a highway. They were walking on a pavement in a residential area. person s_yajaman's post | forum 4 Comments | Read More
